Konstantin Stanislavski
When Ellie was young her favorite thing to do was pretend. And as the years have gone by, her love of pretending and telling stories has only grown. Ellie has been involved in the world of theatre for 12 years. Having joined CYT in Fall of 2015 as a student, she can tell you what a blessing it is to be a part of this wonderful family. She is now excited to take on a new role as teacher, and help create a space where her students can grow in their love of pretending.
Segie VanWetten has enjoyed being part of CYT for 7 years. She leveled up in Fall of 2017 and is ready and challenged for the new roles she will have in teaching. Favorite roles include Miss Hannigan in “Annie Jr.” , Tiger Lily in “Peter Pan", and most recently Feather Duster in “Beauty and the Beast Jr.”. She has accomplished 15 productions with CYT. In her free time Segie enjoys makeup, hair design, and doodling. She is super excited to have the opportunity to be the Our Gang teacher this session.
I started teaching at CYT last year as a teacher for Vocal Technique. I also served as the Musical Director for Beauty and the Beast Jr. and Scrooge. I am the Worship Leader at Horizon Community Church - Lake Oswego campus. My musical background is in Vocal Performance, with a Bachelors of Music degree from BIOLA University. I also have a background in stage and film acting.
Lisa has been dancing and preforming since she was very young. She received a BA in theatre performance and theatre administration from Whitworth University. She has studied numerous styles of dance including ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip-hop, swing, ballroom, and latin. Since graduating, she has been active working with professional and community theatres in the Portland and Salem area stage managing and choreographing. She believes we were all made with the ability to dance, and with a little practice and instruction, we can create something very beautiful through movement. For Lisa, dance is a joyful expression of the soul, and she is excited to share that joy with others. When not working on a production, she enjoys going on adventures with her husband, Kyle, and their daughter, Alexandra.
When not ironing her husband's tube socks Myronie loves to act, direct plays, write them and laugh while people succeed and fail at improv. On her way to having a ball in the theater world she got her Master's in Divinity, took classes at Second City, lived/preached/surfed in Hawaii, pastored in the Silicon Valley, traveled the world and somewhere in there, gave birth to a couple of humans who bring her endless joy (when they're not squabbling). She loves to help kids shine on stage and in life.
Sandy Shaner has been involved with the performing arts for 40 years. She studied both Dance and Early Childhood education at PSU, in addition to her training through multiple dance academies, including The Portland Dance and Northwest Dance Academies. Sandy has been an instructor of both drama and dance and is currently in her 21st year at Lake Oswego Academy of Dance. She also enjoys choreographing musical productions for schools in Portland, but most of all she loves being a part of the CYT family, where her dance background and her love of Jesus come together.
For Sta'Cee it all began with a small part in a church play as a young kid, and slowly developed into a true excitement for drama and theater. Since then Sta'Cee has had the opportunity to be on the stage and behind the scenes in numerous productions. But her favorite roles in life include being a wife to her husband and mother to her 4 precious kids. She has worked with youth of all ages in church ministry for 25 years and has found that no matter the age group; drama and role playing have served as incredible tools for teaching. She truly delights in helping kids experience and understand God's love in such a fun and creative way.
Susan Ruddock is excited to be celebrating her 35th year with The Skylark Tappers! When Suz took her first Interpretive Dance class from Sr. Jeanine Therese, she knew she found her passion for dance. That passion parlayed into a lifetime of diverse dance forms: modern, ballet, tap, jazz & musical theatre. In 2010, Suz was chosen as a local Rockette to open the Radio City Rockettes’ show in Portland. Over the years, Suz honed her tap skills by interacting with Cholly Atkins, Brenda Buffalino, Honi Coles, Linda Sohl-Elison, Fred Strickler, local tap master Terry Brock & countless other tap masters. Suz enjoys engaging in theatre as an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer or assistant director with over 40 shows to her credit. Her most recent venture was Disney’s The Lion King for Kids.
