And the Directors are!!!!!!
Jeremy Ferman:
Mr. Ferman has worked in many areas of theatre from professional to community to high school.  He discovered his passion for teaching after working in the corporate world for a number of years.  His greatest joy achieved from teaching theatre are those moments where one of the kids "gets it."  That moment of understanding and realization is the best!
  Mr. Ferman received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from Midwestern State University.  His acting, design and directing resume is quite long, but a few of his favorite shows to work on have been A Midsummer Night's Dream, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, Moon Over Buffalo, The Importance of Being Earnest and The Crucible.  Mr. Ferman is also a sponsor/director for Mission: IMPROVable and the Legacy Thespian Troupe #7304.
  Mr. Ferman is a member of the Texas Educational Theatre Association, United States Institute for Theatre Technology, and the Association of Texas Professional Educators.
 When not at the school or in a dark theatre, Mr. Ferman enjoys cooking, playing video games and hanging out with his family, wife, Emilie and daughter, Rosalind.
Kelsey Stokes: Ms. Stokes has had a love for theatre since high school and shares that passion with her students in class and on stage. She is an educator because she loves seeing students challenge themselves and succeed in ways they never imagined.
    Ms. Stokes received her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the University of North Texas and taught previously in Northwest ISD.

    Ms. Stokes is a proud member of the Texas Educational Theatre Association and the United Educators of America.
