David found theater in high school after his ROTC training uncovered an issue that made him ineligible for a piloting career. He discovered his love of the craft and the process ran as deep as his love of the performing experience. David obtained his BA in Theatre from Central Washington University. During his undergraduate studies, David studied classical theatrical performance and film and television acting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After his undergraduate studies, David was accepted into the University of Delaware&#8217;s prestigious PTTP program, which only accepted one cohort every three years. This intensive program offered a deep opportunity to immerse in the craft &#8211; in addition to performance work, David trained in yoga, Pilates, the Suzuki method, the Edith Skinner method for voice, and Etienne Decroux&#8217;s dramatic mime. David has also studied stage combat with the renowned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sordeletinc.com\/\">Rick Sordelet<\/a> and voiceover at the Seattle Voice Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"early\">Early career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During graduate school, David appeared with the <strong>Colorado Shakespeare Festival<\/strong> for 2 summers, playing Claudio in <em>Much Ado About Nothing<\/em>, Lucentio in <em>Taming of the Shrew<\/em>, and Claudio (again) in <em>Measure for Measure<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David&#8217;s first major professional engagement after his studies was a yearlong tour with the <strong>National Shakespeare Company<\/strong>, performing <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em> and <em>A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream<\/em>.

The pair decided it was time for a change, and relocated to West Los Angeles, where they lived from 2021 &#8211; 2024. While the unexpected SAG-AFTRA strike made landing new work difficult, David remained close to the stage: participating in private readings for new films, doing live voice work in support of Cheryl&#8217;s role as the 2023 Toastmaster of the Nebula Awards, and working as a stagehand and carpenter for the storied Geffen Playhouse while occasionally flying out to the East Coast for productions like his acclaimed return to STNJ as Bottom in &#8220;A Midwinter Night&#8217;s Dream&#8221; in 2023. The couple has since sold their Los Angeles home and returned to the East Coast, making David permanently available in his home market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Return\">Return to the East Coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David began his gradual return to the East Coast market while still living on the West Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Midwinter Night&#8217;s Dream (2023)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>David was invited to return and play the starring role of Bottom in Bonne Monte&#8217;s closing show at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in 2023. This &#8220;re-seasoned&#8221; take on A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream was a smash hit with audiences, landing top honors in the NJ Arts list of top New Jersey productions for 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:51% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/davidfoubert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A_Midwinter_Nights_Dream_354-1.jpg?resize=840%2C575&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/davidfoubert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A_Midwinter_Nights_Dream_354-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C701&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/davidfoubert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A_Midwinter_Nights_Dream_354-1.jpg?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/davidfoubert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A_Midwinter_Nights_Dream_354-1.jpg?resize=768%2C526&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/davidfoubert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/A_Midwinter_Nights_Dream_354-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAll right, here it is: The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey\u2019s production of\u00a0<em>A Midwinter Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>\u00a0is the funniest damn\u00a0<em>Dream<\/em>\u00a0I\u2019ve ever seen!\u2026The familiar tale of mismatched lovers, lunatic amateur actors, and mischievous fairies is brought to life by a marvelous troupe of farceurs and comics.
