Educator
Madison is the Program Associate at Beyond the Page (BtP), a Middlebury College-affiliated program that brings theatre practices into classrooms and communities. As a former member of the company’s fledgling internship, Mads is particularly proud of co-developing the BtP Undergraduate Teaching Artistry Fellowship with BtP founder and director Craig Maravich. Mads currently manages the Fellowship.
Madison is a former adjunct faculty and staff member for the Middlebury College Theatre and Music Departments. In 2024, they developed and taught a new Middlebury College music course called “Investigating Musical Theatre.” They are also an intermittent member of the Bread Loaf School of English Acting Ensemble, a cohort of actors who collaborate with BLSE faculty to use theatre practices in graduate-level classrooms in addition to putting on a professional play every summer. Madison has served as the resident actor and teaching artist for the Bread Loaf Winter Institute for the past two years.
In NYC, Madison co-founded and runs The Playground Collective, an intentional community of creative people who come together and explore their artistic curiosities. A different Playground member facilitates each meeting, creating a thrilling laboratory space for teaching artistry development and exploration. Mads’ teaching artistry and consultation work spans throughout the city and includes collaborators such as The Beyond Ensemble, The Verbatim Salon, and The New American Ensemble.
At the core of this work, Madison revels in community, play, curiosity, risk, joy, and nourishing the creative process.

“Teaching artistry is a worldview, an expansion of the artist’s view. It includes the fascination with the innate artistry in all people and excitement to discover what all people can create—from making connections inside artworks to making creative solutions to social problems.”
