meet the team

Drama Learning Center teaching artists have the best job: inspiring the next generation to be confident communicators while creating exciting theatre on stage. With classes every day of the week at our home base in Columbia and throughout Howard County schools, DLC is a great place for educators, artists, and students to work!

Scheduling Coordinator

Eli Vogel

Since middle school, Eli Vogel has come to DLC to teach kids, light stages, clean up fake blood, and do a whole bunch of other things. COVID is his fault because he said “Macbeth” at DLC on 12/31/19.
