My son says he’s going to be a play actor. I think it’s just a stage he’s going through.

My name is Daniel Thrasher, and since 2013 I've taught acting professionally at Wellesley College for the Exploration Summer School (their other two branches are housed at Yale and Wheaton College), as well as the Experimentory at Deerfield Academy, a Top 5 private school. In the summer of 2017, at just 24 years old, I was the youngest teacher in Deerfield Academy's program. Courses I've taught include Acting and Directing for the CameraImprovisational Comedy, Pop Choir, Drama, Theatre and Electronics, and more.

In July 2018, I flew to Hong Kong to teach Drama for Arch Education's prestigious INSPIRE Summer Programme:

Here's a little video feature of me as Host of Assemblies at the Experimentory:

What do I have to offer other than teaching experience?

I hold a BFA in Performing Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I'm SAG-AFTRA, have worked in national commercials, feature films, television, equity theater, web-series, and I personally have over 25,000,000 views on YouTube (and over 250,000 followers!) just by having fun on camera.

Trust me, I know how exciting this can be! 


Here's a video of mine that Backstage tweeted (to their 100,000+ followers):


My private clients have worked on Netflix, Disney, FOX, Nickelodeon, international commercials, and so much more. I drive within 20 miles of the Hollywood area for in-home coaching, or work anywhere else in the country via Skype, FaceTime, & Google Duo.
