Meet one of our lovely Session 2 Camp Facilitators! ✨🎭

Rebecca (she/her) is ready to fill her summer with a few of her favorite things—singing, dancing, and a little well-timed stage chaos! She’s been belting show tunes since she was four years old and has proudly carried her “theater kid” card since high school (it’s laminated). She’s taken her bow in nearly 40 productions—most as a performer, and five from the director’s chair as the one happily shouting, “Again, but bigger!” and reminding everyone to “commit to the bit!”

By day, she’s a kindergarten teacher (which basically means she directs tiny humans in daily improv performances), complete with dramatic storytelling, silly voices, and top-tier enthusiasm. She loves teaching theater camps where she helps young performers find their voices, hit their marks, and discover that the real magic isn’t just in the spotlight.

Rebecca recently directed some amazingly “revolting” children in Matilda Jr. and produced a musical theater showcase for middle and high school students. She firmly believes live theater is pure magic—especially that moment when a student realizes just how brave, talented, and powerful they truly are.

When she’s not in the classroom or working in the wings, Rebecca loves returning to center stage. Recent roles include the Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods, ensemble in Sweeney Todd at BCP, Sylvia in Sylvia, and various Broadway Flights at Creative 360. She is SO excited to raise the curtain on this summer’s show with these amazing campers and is absolutely thrilled to share this experience (and the backstage snacks) with her good friend, Sherri! 🎭✨

Featuring fan favorite Broadway Jr and Disney classic songs, PURE IMAGINATION is sure to be magical! ✨

Camp is open to Grades 7-12. Registration closes June 28!

Meet one of our lovely Session 2 Camp Facilitators! ✨🎭

Sherri (she/her) is beyond excited to spend her summer making music, memories, and a little bit of theatrical magic with an incredible group of campers! After many years as a choir teacher and private voice instructor in metro Detroit, she discovered that “retirement” actually means saying yes to every opportunity to music direct, perform, and help young artists shine.

Sherri has music directed youth favorites like Freaky Friday, School House Rock Live Jr., and Youth Broadway Flights at Creative 360, and has also led adult productions including Into the Woods, Plaid Tidings and Nunsense. Whether she’s working with seasoned performers or first-time campers, her favorite moment is that spark when harmonies click, confidence grows, and the whole cast realizes, “Hey… we sound amazing!”

When she’s not enthusiastically conducting or playing rehearsal tracks on repeat, Sherri loves stepping into the spotlight herself. Recent roles include Sally in Follies, the Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd (she promises she survived), and Fräulein Schneider in Cabaret. She is also a frequent performer in The Michigan Momsemble and at the Broadway Flights at Creative 360.

Sherri believes summer theater camp is about more than learning notes and choreography—it’s about teamwork, courage, big laughs, new friendships, and discovering that your voice matters. She can’t wait to make some Broadway-worthy memories together! 🎭🎶
