Education Outreach
As a Phoenix native born and raised, I’m passionate about sharing the exciting world of technical theatre with students. Even without a theatre program, your students can explore a creative, STEM-driven career path through hands-on workshops designed to spark curiosity and build skills. My mission is to bring the tools, knowledge, and real-world experience of theatre design and technology directly to your classroom, fostering the future of Phoenix’s arts community.
