Karen Learmonth

Technical Direction

Ms. Learmonth is the proud teacher of the Theatre Production students. Her most recent theatre credits were last year's production of Sister Act, as well as previous work in community and dinner theatres, where she did everything from acting to directing. Her favorite areas of work were and still are, in costumes, props and lighting. When she's not teaching, Ms. Learmonth can be found doing art, kayaking, or going on adventures and travels with her daughter and friends. She would like to thank Justin, Lyndsey, Sarah, her students, and everyone who has been involved in the show.  She hopes everyone will enjoy watching it as much as we had fun making it!
