Thank you for this opportunity to be involved with your theatre program. Here are a few
words about my life-time of theatre experience: I developed and taught a scene study
class for teens and young adults and instructed this class for 28 years at Image
International Modeling and Acting Center in Allentown, PA. I have also been a Freddy
Volunteer for the State Theatre and enjoyed the experience of seeing over 100 high
school musicals over the past 5 years. I am currently on the nominating committee for the
Board of Directors at PA Playhouse, Bethlehem, PA, and have served on the Board of
Directors for Town Square Players in Nazareth, PA.
