Hello!  My name is Shane Stewart, and I am the talented Theatre teacher for McKinley Middle Academic Magnet.  This is my 16th year of teaching, and my fifteenth teaching talented Theatre.  I have been at McKinley for the last seven of those years.  I have a Bachelors Degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in English Literature, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of New Orleans in Theatre.  I am also the founder of a Shaksepeare Troupe known as Acorn Theatre.  We are in our seventh year of existence and have worked with many talented artist from around the area.  I focus on teaching the Meisner technique in my classes with an emphasis on moment to moment reality and using the space in between words to create believable and realistic characters.  My class performs at least four plays a year, sometimes even more.  If you need anything from me please feel free to email me at sstewart12@ebrschools, or call me at 454-9189.
