Alan Simon created, and has been at the helm of, On Location Education (OLE) for 25 years. Simon was educated at Brooklyn College and began his career as a per diem substitute teacher and performer. This experience paved the way for starting up On Location Education and building it into a nationwide organization. Since then, OLE has worked in all media, including television, film, theatre, the recording industry, and circuses. Simon is considered an authority on the educational needs of young performers and has written and conducted many seminars on the subject. He is co-author of The Young Performer's Guide: How to Break Into Show Business, a valuable resource for young performers and their parents. In addition, he is co-chairperson of the Screen Actors Guild’s Young Performer's Committee, New York Branch, and a member of the Young Performer's Committee of the Actors' Equity Association. Simon organizes seminars for both unions that bring together recognized authorities from all sectors of the entertainment industry to instruct families about the realities of show business. Simon is also an active member of The Broadway League (formerly The League of American Theatres and Producers). In this capacity he has played an integral part in the development of the League’s Broadway Speakers Bureau which brings professionals to college and university students to offer a behind-the-scenes look at other theatre related occupations.

Simon also performs his own one-man cabaret show in New York City and vicinity.

Susan Feltman
Associate Director

Susan received a Bachelor of Arts from Hunter College in Theatre Production and Elementary Education. She began her career as OLE's first tutor, but then tried to run off and join the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus.  Much to her dismay, they wouldn't have her.   She settled for working her way up the television production ladder becoming an Executive Producer, most notably working on CNN's Moneyline with Lou Dobbs, WWOR's The Howard Stern Show and Cablevision's News12.  That took up the next 20 years of her life.   She is now an Associate Director with On Location Education and happy to be back in the fold.
