About me
I've spent the past 35 years teaching elementary music and have a passion for creating meaningful performing arts experiences for students. I'm married and have three grown daughters, two of whom I now have the privilege of working alongside at the same school. Even more special, those daughters are part of our elementary theater team! My love for theater began when I performed in plays and musicals throughout high school. Years later, an opportunity arose to help start an elementary theater club at my campus. Drawing from my theater background, music education experience, and a willingness to learn through trial and error, my team and I built a thriving program that has become a highlight for students and families. Attend our session to learn how to start and sustain an elementary theater club. We'll be sharing practical ideas, resources, successes, and lessons learned from six years of building a thriving program. Whether you're curious about auditions, rehearsals, parent volunteers, production logistics, or creating meaningful performance opportunities for students, we hope you'll leave with the confidence to bring theater to your own campus.
