Rick is excited for this summer and would like to thank Rainbow Youth Theatre, the participants and their families for the opportunity 🎭✨

A classically trained baritone, Rick’s musical theatre career began quite by accident. What started out as accompanying a nervous friend to an audition for the high school play ended up with him being cast in the lead role of Adam in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers 🎶👏

After nine years as a Band teacher in Summerland, Rick moved on to KVR Middle School in Penticton, where he continued to share the Bands program, but also helped to create an after school musical theatre club. First leading the backstage operations as Stage Manager for the school's MTI version of Lion King, Jr., Rick then served as Artistic Director for Aladdin, Jr. the following year 🌟

Sarah is thrilled to be returning for another summer with RYT! ✨ After choreographing “Frozen Jr” last year, she couldn’t wait to come back and watch all the young talent take on this wonderful show! 🎭

Sarah is an award-winning choreographer from Nanaimo, BC with a passion for teaching the arts. Starting her training at age 3, Sarah cultivated her skills in a variety of styles including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Contemporary. 🎶

As she grew older, her passion for creation and choreography grew stronger, and she’s now been teaching for the last 9 years. Sarah not only teaches at Tempo Dance Academy in Nanaimo, but also works with theatre groups across the island creating fun and unique choreography that showcases the artistry of her students. 🌟

When Sarah isn’t working in the arts, she can be found in elementary schools as a child and youth mental health counsellor, and she loves bringing both of her jobs together to support young artists in finding their voice. 💛🎤

Sarah is excited to meet everyone and can’t wait to get started! 🎉
