Tanya Perkins is the Resident Artist for the Academy, while on sabatical from teaching at NYU's Conservatory for Musical Theater, CAP 21. While in New York, Tanya performed in showcases, concerts and numerous TV commercials and voice over spots. She also held the leading role at the The Goodspeed Opera House in East Heddem, CT - the originating point to many Broadway bound musicals.

Tanya's extensive theater career has allowed her to travel coast to coast performing in such favorite roles as "Eliza" in My Fair Lady, "Meg" in Brigadoon and Jaqueline in Me & My God. Her incredible comic wit does not allow her out of an occasional showgirl "glam" role, too. This casting was welcomed when it landed her a role in a touring production of Follies, that gave her the opportunity to share the stage with legends like Edie Adams, Constance Towers and Virginia May.

Tanya holds a BFA in musical theater from Stephens College and went on to pursue her masters in vocal technique and performance. She has taught all ages from children through adult, served as music director for cabaret acts and concerts, and recorded her own album "Still With Thee". Tanya can assist any student interested in pursuing a career in NYC theater.
