Ms. Razza is in her second full year of teaching at Beacon and couldn't be happier to have found her home here! Ms. Razza studied musical theatre education at Rhode Island College and musical theatre performance at Pepperdine University. She has been teaching voice and theatre for 18 years, as well as audition preparation, improvisation, musical theatre choreography and character development. In addition, she has been performing on stage and in front of the camera professionally for over twenty years. She wants to thank her incredibly supportive family for putting up with her crazy hours, and extend a special thank you to her executive team, Ms. Armstrong and Jamie, because without them, none of this would have been possible! "Break a leg to the entire cast and crew! I could not be more proud!"

Ms. Armstrong is a recently discovered theatre kid! She teaches science here at Beacon, but has devoted her afternoons and evenings building sets and making Ms. Razza's vision come true. Ms. Armstrong is excited to experience a world where musicals happen in real life and all the world is a stage!

When not performing, Jamie is a spoken word poet who has won several spoken word competitions and is a published author of a poetry book on amazon called “Midnight Won’t Last.” Jamie would like to give her dad a shoutout for always supporting her dreams as well as Ms. Razza for giving her the opportunity to learn about her new found interest in directing as well as cultivating her creativity and allowing her creative freedom. She also wants to extend a HUGE shoutout to Ahlyha for coming into her life, becoming her other half and making her senior year better than she could have ever imagined!
