the Family Production. Through this program, we were able to elevate 15 campers and 23 youth actors into the full production environment. Each production had 1-4 community Artistic Mentors who performed alongside and guided our students into the general Bay Area theatre community. Since then, I have gone on to become one of the Resident Directors for the summer musicals at One Stage Theatre. https://www.stephaniekara.com/author daily 0.75 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b3c470da4de55c5378267a/4f2f485b-2e75-4869-834e-eaab8bdae997/Blue+Lily+Logo.png Author - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
