About Matt

Matt Parr is the Director of the WordPlay Drama studio. What makes Matt a bit special as a drama teacher is not his background in theatre, his uncredited role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, or his endearing Kiwi accent. It's his other job that sets him apart. When he's not teaching drama classes, Matt is a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist. He has a wealth of experience working with individuals across a wide range of communicative and social-emotional abilities. He loves drama and has found it a wonderful way to build on whatever level of skills a child has.

Matt creates classes that are fun, inspiring and slightly addictive for all participants (and he feels abundantly blessed that he gets to do so).
