As the theatre teacher at ASA, I am proud to work with some of the most passionate young artists around. They have truly amazed me as they began to direct their own shows, tour holiday shows to the elementary schools, host their own film festival, and create truly inspiring slam poetry. My coworkers care and always listen to feedback. The school leader has begun really listening to the alumni, including the several alumni who now work on staff.
