All five of Christine’s (now adult) children performed on the YAT stage, including Marc Caro, our current choreographer. Christine thanks Marc, Leigh, Brice, Devon, Miles, and Erica for the joy of creating with them, and their leadership in her absence. She thanks this cast for their hard work, and Kristina for steering the YAT ship with such grace. She thanks Jerry for being her rock everyday in every way. When not in the theater, Christine enjoys adjudicating for NYA, spending time with her grandkids, and playing with her beloved Airedale Terrier, Lyla.
