Bio

David Haugen was introduced to the work of Sanford Meisner in 1987 as a student of William Esper. The work opened his eyes and took away the mystery of acting. He continued his studies with Mr. Esper at Rutgers University in the Professional Actors Training Program earning his MFA.

As a teacher, David was trained by Maggie Flanigan and taught at the Maggie Flanigan Studio in New York. It is from Ms. Flanigan that David gained both his love for teaching and the clarity with which to share it.

William Esper and Maggie Flanigan received the top honors for Best Acting Teachers in New York by Backstage 2006 Readership Poll.

David has recently relocated to Los Angeles with the goal of establishing a center for dedicated actors seeking to develop their craft.

As an actor, David has worked in film; Vision Quest; The Curious Profession of Jonathan Hoag, television: Law & Order; Law & Order SVU, Ed, and off-Broadway; Romeo & Juliet.  He has worked extensively around the country with such theaters as: Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Repertory Theater of St. Louis, Great Lakes Theatre Festival, New Jersey and Orlando Shakespeare Festivals, The Dorset Theatre Company and The Peterborough Players.
