Fabulous European desserts and a vintage vibe. I will probably "work" here forever.

Dinner theatre.

We're trying to bring art to center focus in our community. We're making sure we leave this town with the same kind of programs that got us to where we are today. Hopefully it's enough of an incentive to keep the in-school programs alive.

Question: "What do I do as an Artistic Director?"Answer: Things that a 19 year old is highly underqualified and ridiculoudly grateful to do. I have artisitic control over a wonderful production with really talented kids. I see the opportunity before me, and I am privelged to get my own artistic interpretations on stage at such a young age. I also sew costumes, build props, assist with set building/design, choreograph, coach and consult.

I choroegraphed the dance/ nightmare sequence in "Acting Can Be Murder" (dir. Lauren Tannous) and became a fill in memeber of the crew asisting with hair, makeup, and house management. And I did it in heels.

I constructed my own original curriculum for children ages 3-6 using the methodologies and techniques implimented in youth theatre and taught them through the use of popular fairy tales.

I consider my position as being a sort of "child wrangler".
