PROFILE: BARBARA HUME

I am currently both a high school English and Drama teacher.  My true passion is telling stories through song and dance; so I have continued to both choreograph and perform primarily as a singer/actor in both concert series and community theater in and around the Northwest.  

I earned my equity card performing summer stock musical theater at the Municipal Opera of Forest Park in my home town of St. Louis, Missouri.  After being entrenched in musical theater throughout my middle school and high school years, I wanted to pursue a classical dance career and tried a BFA in Dance program for one year then pursued a performing career in modern dance working with the Repertory Dance Theater, (Salt Lake City, UT), The St. Louis Dance Kaliedium (Original Member), The Los Angeles Contemporary Dance Theater, and various smaller companies in both New York and Los Angeles.

After ending my modern dance performing, I pursued singing and have been writing and recording songs for the past ten years.  I come from a singing family so continuing my interests in music was a natural segue from performing as a modern dancer.  

Now, as a theater director at my local high school, I am interested in bridging my love for the theater of dance with my love for music and musicals.
