2009-2010 - The "Crystal" season, celebrating 15 years!

---

Adapted by: Tim Kelly, from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The classic tale of magic, love, and hope. Mary Lennox moves to England and finds more than friendship; she finds herself.

Directed by: Katrina Heath

Katrina Heath has been active in theater for 15 years as both an actor and director. She studied theater at Spokane Falls Community College (receiving an AA in 2001) and continued on to finish her Bachelors of Arts in Theater and English in 2004 at Eastern Washington University where she directed her capstone production of "Not Enough Rope.” She has been seen on stage most notably at SFCC as Feste in Twelfth Night (2000) and as Sissy in "Piece of My Heart" (2005). She began her work at TAC in 2004 as the Stage Manager for Rapunzel and fell in love with the theater. Her most memorable roles at TAC are as Old Widow Whiskers in "The Pied Piper of Hamelin Town," and Aunt Queen Bea in "The Frog Prince of Spamalot." She is planning on getting her Masters in either Theater or Library Science (focusing on young adult programming and collections) in the next few years. This is Katrina's second time directing at TAC, directing "Christmas Everyday" last season.

"A Scrooge Christmas" is a lovely adaptation by Thomas Hischak, of the Charles Dickens holiday favorite, “A Christmas Carol.” It is a holiday tale full of opportunities and redemption. It will warm your heart!

Paige has been involved with theater for close to 19 years now. This is her second time directing for TAC, previously directing Stone Soup. She has also been seen on stage in West Side Story, Cinderella, Oklahoma, and many more, but she prefers directing. She'd like to thank her family, Leah, and of course John.

Musical Director: Tomoko Kimura

Leah has been involved with theater all around Spokane for about 13 years, and within those years, has either acted, produced, stage managed or directed over 50 shows! Some of her favorite roles include Phyllia in a Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Jane Seymour in Royal Gambit, and Penelope Ann in Bye Bye Birdie. She is studying theater further to become a teacher and get her B.A in Fine Arts and Education, with a minor in theater.

Some of her hobbies include eating, scrapbooking, boating, cooking, and of course, theater! She is in her second term as Artistic Director for TAC and is really enjoying this role.
