Assistant Director
Morgan Case
Morgan Case started doing theatre her junior year of high school and absolutely fell in love with being on stage! Within these three short years, she has been able to be apart of 10+ amazing casts! It has been a whirlwind of different roles and experiences. From classic to modern, she tried her hand at a bit of everything. Now, after finishing her freshman year as a theater major, she is stoked to keep the momentum going. She has volunteered her time to mentor and teach the students of the Theater Club during our summer camp program "A Day at Ren Faire" and taught stage presence and vocal coaching for "The Suspect Named Jesus".
