Disney's The Lion King JR. Creative Team

Director & Music Director

Mrs. McAllister

Mrs. McAllister loves the music in this show, and it has been stuck in her head since June! One of her favorite roles was when she was an aerial silk artist, "Poison Viney," in Utah State University's "Tarzan." It takes many, many people to make a show like this work, but there is no way that "Lion King" would be possible without the vision and hard work of Ms. Howell. Thank you, thank you!

Director & Choreographer

Mrs. Meadows

Mrs. Meadows is so excited to blend her love of both science and theatre in this production; she has loved incorporating her knowledge of biology and animals into the movement and choreography. One of her favorite roles was when she played Hortensio in Whittier College's production of "Taming of the Shrew." She would like to thank her students for their hard work on this show and for making each rehearsal fun and productive!

Stage Crew Director

Ms. Howell

Ms. Howell is ready to bring Lion King Jr. to life after many months of planning and preparation. This show has been one of the hardest productions to create for behind the scenes. One of her favorite shows here at Centennial was “Once on This Island”. There are so many aspects to being a stage director, but there is no way she could do it without her amazing stage crew students, Ms. Tietz and the support of Mrs. Meadows and Mrs. McAllister. Thank you!

Rolling Thunder Director

Mrs. Avant

Mrs. Avant was so happy to have the Rolling Thunder Show Choir invited to be a part of this Lion King Production. It is one of her favorite shows. We love supporting the amazing directors and cast of the theater department. Integrating our programs together is fun and rewarding. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.
