    Lynsie (YaYa) McCullough-Seeds

    Lynsie dreamed of opening her own Musical Theater program ever since she first stepped on stage almost 28 years ago.  Lynsie studied Musical Theater at SDSU and later received her BS in Business Administration from CSUDH.  Lynsie is extremely excited and proud of the wonderful cast, staff, crew, and parents of Beauty and the Beast Jr.  This was a big collaborative effort that could not have been done with out each and every one of you.  Lynsie would like to thank her staff Arroya, Kenny, and Johanna for all their hard work, creativity, and dedication to this virtual production.  She would also like to thank Mike Bradecich for his creativity and many hours spent editing this show together.   And finally, a special thank you to Kyley, Kollin, and Piper for sharing mommy with our YaYa’s kids, and her husband Mike for not only supporting her in this crazy (now virtual) YaYa’s life, but also for working endless hours over these last 10 months saving lives.

    Johanna is so happy and excited to be working with her YaYa’s Performance Academy family on another show! Johanna recently graduated from McBride High School in Long Beach and is currently a first year student at the University of Oregon. Some of her favorite roles include Scuttle “The Little Mermaid”, Bird Woman “Mary Poppins”, and Caterpillar “Alice and Wonderland”. Although she is not in Long Beach with the majority of the cast, being able to see everyone during rehearsals on Zoom has definitely been a highlight during this tough time in our lives. All of the performers and their families have worked so hard on making this show amazing! Johanna would like to thank this incredible cast of “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” for making this experience fantastic. She would also like to give a huge thanks to Yaya and the production team who have worked endlessly to create this online theater production! Break legs everybody!!
