Tabitha is excited to be back for her third season as Artistic Director, proving once again that sleep is optional and the show must go on. By day, she is a Business Teacher at Bloomfield High School, and by night (and most weekends), she can usually be found solving problems she didn't know existed five minutes earlier. This season, Tabitha is thrilled to share the stage with some of her students, while taking on the roles of the Sour Kangaroo in Seussical, and Aunt Eller in Oklahoma! -- because apparently being in one show wasn't enough. Between rehearsals, productions, emails, schedules, and the occasional minor crisis, she somehow manages to keep the theatre running. This past year has been especially theatrical as she welcomed her son, Teddy, into the world in October. Since then, she's discovered that raising a baby and running a theatre require many of the same skills: patience, flexibility, and the ability to function on very little sleep. Tabitha would like to thank her family for their unwavering support, the Board of Directors for trusting her with organized chaos, and most importantly her dog, Presh, and her son Teddy. One Requires an abundance of treats, the other occasionally lets her sleep, and both deserve a standing ovation. This performance is for you, my loves!
