MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Award-winning Director, Vocalist, Accompanist & Educator
Welcome to Soundstage Productions! It has been a great privilege in life to share my passion for the performing arts with our community. I have been humbled by the exceptional work of so many motivated people that have given their time, talent, and expertise over the years to Soundstage.
This has allowed Soundstage to continue to grow and inspire all those who wish to explore their own passion and expression through the performing arts.
My goal as a vocal instructor is not only to encourage the development of a solid technical base, but also to instill a joy and a love for music. Leadership in music and the arts creates an opportunity for personal growth and confidence to go out into the world and make it a better place.
