He also served as a student teacher for some of Emerson’s musical theatre classes, accompanying auditions, shows, and gala events.
Starting in 2015, Zack worked his way up to a senior staff position at The Play Group Theatre, a non-profit theatre for children and teens in White Plains, NY. His varied responsibilities included Camp Director, Music Director, Cabaret Director, voice teacher, summer staff, office administrator, and occasional costume designer.
Some of Zack’s favorite credits include Songs for a New World, Mamma Mia, Matilda the Musical, Legally Blonde, Spring Awakening, A New Brain, Yo, Vikings!, and Godspell. He recently directed and choreographed 13 The Musical, and directed and music directed a volunteer cabaret troupe at The Play Group Theatre, traveling to children’s hospitals, assisted living facilities, and shelters across Westchester.
