Bio
I have had the privilege of starting the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center in 2003. Our high school built a beautiful Center and wasn't sure what to do with it. The QCPAC hosts over 330 events a year and over 650,000 people have gone through our center since we opened. The QCPAC has a Main Theater featuring National Tours, Family Theater, Country Concerts, Community Theater and school art reach program. We also do camps and classes. I feel like we are the little theater that could.
I am a hard working professional Mom looking to be inspired, refueled and return after this awesome collobaration with a new fire and ideas.
Educational Background
I graduated from Kent State University with a BFA in Musical Theater. I am honored that the Tony award winning actress, Alice Ripley, was part of graduated from our program the year after me.

Something you should know about me!
Please don't tell me it can't be done.
Accomplishments
I have been so lucky to be able to have the freedom to create the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center. The partnership of our town and our school has lead to a Performing Arts Center that is used almost every day and a school and a community that wants kids from 1 to 100 to be able to create.
Upcoming Projects
The Wizard of Oz is in the summer and we will return to the school year to do Alice in Wonderland Jr., Brother Grimm - Out of Order and for the remaining kids who audition but do not get into one of those shows we are starting - Queen Creek Glee - a show choir for kids to be able to sing, dance and let go.
