Christie founded Creative Youth Theater over 24 years ago and she writes most of the plays we use. She is also a 38-year veteran English teacher and currently teaches English to 4th - 12th grade home schooled students. She loves how drama is a confidence-builder for kids of all ages.

She will help our new director in any ways necessary.
