MEET A.C.T. TEACHER - HEIDI ENSSLIN!

Miss Heidi will be teaching the scenic design portion of our Technical Insights class this session. This is a brand new class for kids in grades 9-12 as well as any technically inclined adults. We will be covering scenic design, lighting design and stage management.

One of the things Miss Heidi is planning on doing with her students during her portion of the course is paint faux textures in our newly renovated dressing room!

So.....heeeeeeere's Miss Heidi!

SLOLT: Miss Heidi, can you tell us what can be expected in your class?

Expect to paint. We'll be mixing paint and applying faux finishes.

SLOLT: What is your philosophy on children/youth theatre training?

They will use something that I taught them, someday, maybe not for years, but they will remember.

SOLT: Can you tell us one of your favorite moments of your career so far?

An opera singer took a bow with a prop I made.

SLOLT: What’s your most embarrassing moment on stage?

I was in the middle of a quick change when I remembered I had to go back on stage-- without my mustache!

SLOLT: What advice to you have for young thespians?

No acting please. Be original, sincere. You are a thousand times more interesting than acting. And Study your Lines!
