“A creative force in educational theater!”
A professional actor, magician, and teaching artist in one!
From creating and sharing educational games at The Bronx Zoo, to performing in the Drama Desk Award-Winning That Physics Show and leading That Chemistry Show, ‘Eileen the Explorer’ has always had a passion for making learning engaging and exciting.
Today, Eileen creates and teaches innovative classes that connect students’ individual passions to core subjects- using chess to explore math, swing dance to investigate scientific principles, and, of course, incorporating a little bit of magic into every presentation.
Recently, Eileen created a one-woman show celebrating famous women magicians and scientists in honor of Women’s History Month. She toured the show to more than a dozen NYC libraries, bringing stories of groundbreaking women to audiences of all ages.
Eileen is now collaborating with her longtime friend and fellow teaching artist Morgan Sendek to create Science is Magic, an interactive assembly adventure that combines science, social-emotional learning, and plenty of magic.
