Janet Sonenberg's Master of Fine Arts is in directing from NYU’s School of the Arts and she has taught at Princeton University and Hampshire College. Her booksThe Actor Speaks and Imaginary Landscapes focus on the acting process. In the latter she describes a new acting technique in which actors avail themselves of direct access to their autonomous imaginations. She developed this technique with the help of MIT students. Professor Sonenberg teaches classes in acting and directing, and directs student productions. She most recently directed the Dramashop production of The Internationalist.

Janet Sonenberg is the Theater Arts minor advisor.
