📣Introducing the Directing Team for W***y Wonka📣

🍭Director Deedra Dixon🍫
Deedra Dixon is a graduate of Continental High School, where she was part of eight productions before venturing off to Malone University in Canton, Ohio. She started her teaching and directing career with 13 years and 12 shows at Tinora High School, followed by six years of teaching and seven musicals at Pike-Delta-York Schools. Dee currently teaches high school English and journalism while directing plays and musicals at Pettisville Schools. She is married to (frequent co-director) Morvin, and is stepmom to Wauseon grads Ezra and Micah and nearly-sophomore Josiah. Dee is thrilled to be involved in this production! Her first run at W***y Wonka was cancelled in 2020, so she is excited to reimagine the show with the ACT cast, crew, and production team.
