My name is Marcia Geyer, and this is my 9th year with the district, my second year as the drama teacher, and my first year producing and directing a LIVE SHOW! My past experience in the performing arts mainly comes from performing in community theater plays in Fresno and Clovis; years of private voice training; working as a choreographer and drama coach for a children's theater company for a year; years of working with children's choirs in various capacities; and extra college courses in theater, music, and dance at Fresno City College and Fresno State. More recently, I was so blessed to have worked on choreography with Mesa and Nipomo High’s own Robyn Metchik! Please see her honorable mention below! And most recently, I've been able to work with your AMAZING, talented, committed, and fun kids on The Dear Edwina Show! Thanks so much for coming out to join all of the fun!

Matthew Geyer is an IT technician for Lucia Mar Unified School District and he enjoys supporting the performing arts.

Robyn Metchik is such an inspiration to me personally, as well as to the performing arts community! Her influence reaches from Lucia Mar, to Broadway, and beyond! We love and honor who you are, Robyn, and all you have been to our Mesa and Lucia Mar Drama family! Robyn retired just as the shut down happened. She was about to produce her last show with Nipomo High School: Chicago. She did end with a bang, however, with her final production of Beauty and the Beast in early spring of 2020! With Robyn's retirement, she has graciously shared her wonderful support crew with me! From the brilliantly talented and experienced Katherine Prado; to the wonderfully talented Marissa Rubio; to the quirky, talented Eric Guisinger; to her legacy and hard work; Robyn did not leave Mesa Drama empty-handed! I am honored to stand on the shoulders of giants in this capacity! Thank you, Robyn, positively for influencing my life's path, and the paths of countless others!
