11th Annual Youth Theatre Workshop Instructors Amanda Allen (Choreographer/Producer) is excited because it is

her favorite time of the year—especially after having a com-

pletely different Youth Theatre Workshop in 2020. This summer she

gets to spend two weeks with some amazingly talented little per-

formers and a fun and talented crew!! She is one of the founders

of the Youth Theatre Workshop helping to get things started with

a one day workshop back in 2009!! She is taking a break this year

from being on the TCS Board, but she’ always still involved. Favor-

ite roles include Pennywise (Urinetown), Sister Mary Hubert

(Nunsense), Glinda (Wizard of Oz), Animal Ensemble (A Year With

Frog and Toad) for which she was nominated for a DASH award,

Jack's Mother (Into the Woods) and Ethel Toffelmeir (Music Man).

Amanda was also nominated for her makeup design for both Into

the Woods and Music Man. In her “spare time”, Amanda has a

specialty craft company CreAtive CreAtions where her motto is

“If you can think it, I can create it!” Amanda could not do what

she does without the support of her family and friends, to whom

she sends out a hearty thanks!! Thank you's are also in order for

the wonderful creative team and especially the student interns!!

All our interns are first time interns this summer—though many
