NOVA HALL & JOHN HASTINGS, Teachers

We are excited to bring back Mr. Hastings from his previous improv classes taught at Town Players of New Canaan!  He’s a fan favorite and beloved 4th grade teacher previously  at New Canaan Country School.  He has since become a licensed psychotherapist. Nova and John Hastings will make a fabulous team!

Nova Hall is a 4th grade teacher at the Tracey Magnet School in Norwalk.  (bio soon!)

John Hastings currently works at Sasco River Center as a licensed Psychotherapist.  He’s had quite a varied career.  After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Art History, John earned an MFA in theatrical lighting from New York University. A career lighting dance, theatre, and Broadway followed.

Changing professions, he was accepted into the New York Teaching Fellows program, earned a MEd and taught 4th grade for twenty years, both in the New York City public system and at New Canaan Country School. Building on his gift to connect with students, John earned his master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Iona University.

In addition, John is an experienced improv teacher who believes the skills developed learning to improvise can be powerful tools to help children, adolescents and adults overcome feelings of anxiety and depression. These techniques, when used within a cognitive behavioral therapy framework, can empower those he works with to gain a better understanding of their emotions.
