About Adam

Greetings! I am Adam Brandner, a passionate college professor based in Houston, Texas. With a profound love for literature and education, I have contributed three published plays to Next Stage Press, along with an impressive portfolio of 25 additional publications spanning various global platforms. Teaching, reading, and writing are not just my profession, but my lifelong passions. My dedication to fostering a love for learning and creativity among my students is at the heart of my teaching philosophy.

About the lesson

Greetings!

My name is Adam Brandner. With a strong background in education and a passion for the arts, I am eager to contribute my expertise and dedication to further enhance your educational journey.

Currently, I serve as an adjunct professor of Composition & Rhetoric at Lonestar College-Kingwood, where I have had the privilege of imparting communication skills to a diverse group of students. Simultaneously, I hold the position of Drama Director at C. E. King High School in Houston. My academic journey has included a B.A. in Theater Education, followed by a master's degree in English & Creative Writing with a focus on Playwriting.

My contributions to the field extend beyond the classroom. I take pride in having over twenty academic and creative nonfiction pieces published, including a notable publication with Writer's Digest. Under the pseudonym Grizzly K. Sunshine, I have seen three full-length plays published by Next Stage Press. In 2016, one of my full-length plays earned the distinction of being featured Off-Broadway at the 777 Roy Arias Theater in New York City. My dedication to the theater arts has led to my recognition as a Tommy Tune Winning Director, and I participate yearly in the Texas UIL One Act Play Competition.

My educational philosophy is rooted in the principle of "grit." While passion is undeniably a driving force, I firmly believe that true success is achieved through unwavering perseverance over extended periods. This concept of grit extends beyond the realm of the arts and serves as a life lesson that equips students with the resilience required for success in various aspects of their lives.

I hold the belief that students thrive when they know they have an unwavering advocate in their corner. Therefore, my approach is straightforward: show up, give one's best effort, and genuinely care about the personal growth and artistic development of each student. I maintain that growth is far more significant than innate talent, a perspective exemplified by the narrative arc of Pixar's "Monsters University."

In closing, I am excited about the possibility of fostering an environment of excellence, creativity, and resilience among students.
