Greetings fellow actors, directors, teachers, world-builders and dreamers!
Like you, I have constantly looked for ways to improve my acting, directing, teaching, and overall effectiveness as a theatre artist. To tell a story that transports an audience – even for just a few moments – into a world where they can be entertained, awed, moved, inspired. And to empower actors and students of the theatre to tell those stories themselves.
From coaching high school and college students in preparation for an upcoming audition, to directing dozens of musicals and plays, to designing award-winning instructional experiences to directing actors on horseback along with a cast of thousands in a major football stadium, I have a breadth and depth of experience that will benefit individual artists as well as entire organizations.

Having the right tools is essential to building a fulfilling career in performance, directing, and teaching in the theatre arts. Those tools will not only help you succeed as an artist, but will give you the ability to succeed an any area of life.
“I am a drama coach who helps actors, directors, and theatre education professionals to apply performance, creative, and leadership skills and principles, equipping them for success both on stage and off.”
Graham Northrup
With over two decades of experience in directing, acting, teaching, and designing custom educational experiences, and over a decade at Theatre Aspen as Director of Education, I’ve developed expertise that can guide you to greater heights. My focus is always on building my students and clients into their most capable selves, and enabling them to build on their own successes.
Graham’s approach to coaching and directing is to help actors explore their own creativity, encourage them to push through perceived barriers and take their performance to new levels of emotional honesty, physical expression and collaboration with their scene partners. He employs both physical and psychological/emotional techniques to help actors reach their most truthful and compelling performance.
