I feel extremely fortunate to have Mateusz join us at ATS to coach young actors. We haven't had a young actor's workshop in years and I'm glad I've found the right person for the job. Join me in welcoming Mateusz Lewczenko to the ATS family. Here's his bio. AG

Mateusz is thrilled to be a part of Actor Training Studio. As a freelance coach and director, Mateusz has taught with Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, The Coterie Theatre, Starlight Theatre and as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. He has directed workshops and lectures at local high schools including Pembroke Hill High School, Shawnee Mission East and Blue Springs High School.

You can also hear and see him in various radio and television commercials in the Midwest.

Mateusz obtained his MFA in Acting and Directing from the University of Missouri – Kansas City where he also performed in many shows. Some favorites include The Importance of Being Earnest, The Maids’ Tragedy, The Circus Show, and The Imaginary Cuckold.
