We are so sorry to share the news that our beloved, retired Voice Teacher, Eileen Schauler, passed away on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at the age of 92. Eileen retired in 2011 after more than 25 years of teaching at AMDA. Eileen was an immense talent as an artist, as a teacher of voice, and as an iconic presence at AMDA in so many different ways. She was truly a larger-than-life person, full of integrity, artistic and theatrical knowledge, and enormous humor. All of AMDA loved Eileen and her huge, generous heart. It is difficult to believe that our dear Eileen is not with us now – her presence was that big. But if you believe, as we do, that our legacy lives on in our students and in our AMDA community, then Eileen’s benevolence and superstar talent is rampant everywhere at AMDA, and in fact, all over the globe!
