Performing Arts Faculty

Roxanne Schroeder-Arce comes to Emerson from California State University at Fresno where she served as Assistant Professor for three years. Before Fresno, she was Artistic and Education Director of Teatro Humanidad in Austin. She also taught high school in Texas for six years. Although Roxanne is a new faculty member here, she is not a stranger to Emerson and she is thrilled to be back!
One of Roxanne's primary artistic and research interests is that of bilingual theatre with and for youth. She has taught courses for educators focused on Drama and Diversity at institutions such as the Tennessee Arts Academy and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and her bilingual plays have been produced throughout the nation. Her plays Señora Tortuga and Legend of the Poinsettia are available though Anchorage Press Plays. Roxanne is an active member of The United States Center for the International Association of Theater for Children and Young People (TYAUSA) and serves on the Board of the American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE).
