Hello, and welcome to Encore! I am thrilled to have the opportunity of adventuring theatrically with you and your children this year. Storytelling is my passion; I believe we learn more deeply when we encounter knowledge in story form, and I look forward to helping all Encore students discover the beauty and power of stories firsthand.
First, a bit about me: my name is Ruth Nelson, and my passion for performing began at the age of six. Since that first church musical, I have been acting, singing, dancing, and directing at every opportunity! I have a BA in Performing Arts from King College (Bristol, TN) and a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Georgia (Athens, GA). Since moving back to North Carolina in 2009, I have enjoyed being involved in the burgeoning theatrical scene. You may have seen me at the Gilbert Theater or with the Sweet Tea Shakespeare company, of which I am a member and for which I serve as the official Dramaturg. I am eager for you to be involved in your child's education! If you have theatrical talents or experience, do let me know. Even if you have never set foot on a stage but want to help out, contact me! Theatre is a communal art, and we need the gifts and efforts of MANY to make it happen. |
