Hello! My name is Sara and I am so excited to be teaching Backstage 101 this session! I have been in CYT Santa Cruz since 2011 and loved every second of it! I started as an actor and moved to the tech side of things just a couple years later. I have been Stage Managing at CYT for the past two years and I can't wait to educate all my students on what I have learned at CYT!
