The founder of a Manhattan theater school groomed female students – foisting alcohol on them and giving them creepy massages, a new suit claims.
Meanwhile, the school sued to bar him from returning.The lawsuit details how Drost – who once had a role in “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway – allegedly put a massage table in the common room, where he would give female students rubdowns, claiming “it was “a method to help relax the vocal cords.”
In November 2021 messages obtained by The Post, Drost sent photos of himself – including one of him shirtless – telling the girl that he loved her. Now, Drost – who agreed to reduce his ownership stake in the school to 25% as a silent partner amid the scandal – is threatening to retake his old administrative role, court documents say.
Drost’s lawyer claims the lawsuits against his client are an attempt to oust him from his own company.The school’s suit alleges that on June 4, 2021 in Dallas, Texas, Drost – who was involved with a woman he has since married – plied students with alcohol before asking the 19-year-old woman up to his hotel room where he gave her the pill that made her tired.
Once, when he allegedly tried to kiss her on Dec. 3, 2021, he told her he didn’t know if things would work out with the woman who is now his wife and said, “who knows, maybe you and I will be married in ten years,” the filing claims. After the scandal broke, Drost allegedly asked the student to switch to Snapchat so that their messages would disappear.When other students tried to “intercede” after they noticed how Drost treated the student, he retaliated by stripping them of “career opportunities, or threatened to do so,” the suit says.
