Animal Farm Creative

Director & Technical Director
Ms. Erin AmbrozMs. Ambroz is a Crystal Apple Award nominee and 2022 Rotary Diamond Teacher of the Year. Ms. A can't believe this show marks the end of 11 years as the CTD director! She is eternally grateful for her CTD years and is thrilled for her new position as the CHS Dean of Activities and Engagement. Eleven years worth of CTD students has filled her heart and brought her great joy, and continued friendships. Thanks to Sophia & Stephen for their unending support, Mom & Dad for childcare and for sitting through 22 shows and never missing, Casey & Fam for making the journey to watch high school theatre, and Noli Wren for spending toddler years in the audience while mom directs. It's your turn now, kiddo!
May we not settle for the story that is being written, but continue to fight for what is right. For the unheard, unseen, misled, and mistreated. All animals are equal.
