After graduating with a Bachelor’s in Theatre Performance from the University of Evansville, I started work on my Masters Degree in Acting with the Cleveland Play House/Case Western Reserve University MFA Actor Training Program. Over the course of my training and career, I have developed a deep respect for modern realism and an intense affinity for Shakespeare.

In addition to Cleveland Play House, I have worked as an actor with the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival, Brute Candor Productions, and the Public Theatre of Kentucky. I was also featured in many productions in my time at the University of Evansville, including playing Bruce Bechdel in the collegiate premier of Fun Home.

“Isaac is such a joyful actor to work with. He brings a fire and intensity I rarely see in younger actors, and his decisions always made the rehearsal room a very exciting place to be.”
