Tyler D. Hall

With the lack of a Theatre Arts program in Tyler's grade, middle, and high school years, he is very excited to return for to Shakesperience for a second season.  Belonging to the same family tree as Mark Twain (ironically his first play was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), he began his acting career in haunted houses in the little town of Genoa, WI (Population 510). He was later accepted into the acting program at The University of California Los Angeles which he attended before he finished High School. He then moved to New York City where he graduated from the Studio Program at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy.  In addition to acting in shows throughout New York and New Jersey, Tyler is a visual artist, is currently training to be a jouster, and was on his way to a career in racing motocross before he chose the path of art.
