He also attended the Goodman Theatre School’s Acting Program and was a Directing Intern at the Actors Theatre of Lousiville. Bohr’s training includes a strong base in Stanislavsky, including Technique, Scene Study, and Basic and Advanced Acting as well as a strong background in theatre history and structure and a particular expertise in American theatrical styles. Bohr joined the faculty of The Ohio State University Department of Theatre as an Assistant Professor in September 2006. He comes to OSU from the New York School of Film and Television, where he taught courses in Shakespeare, Advanced On-Camera Study, Intro to Camera, and Daytime Drama. Bohr has also taught at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. His teaching philosophy is to “encompass as many of the accepted disciplines as possible, and to give each student the specific tools needed to create freely and do the best work possible.” Before his teaching career, he was the Casting Director for As The World Turns (CBS), Another World (NBC), and the Assistant Casting Director for Guiding Light (CBS). Bohr has also directed over thirty stage productions ranging from New York’s Off-Broadway theatres to Regional theatres and encompassing classical and contemporary works, as well as culturally diverse and innovative new plays with emerging playwrights. During the 2006-2007 academic year, Bohr will be involved with undergraduates and graduates in both the classroom and the main-stage productions. His courses will just begin to dabble in his areas of expertise, through various acting studios, an Introduction to Stage Directing, and an all-time favorite with the students – Acting for the Camera. Bohr will also be directing OSU Theatre’s main-stage production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town (Winter 2007) in the Roy Bowen Theatre.
