Meghan Haynes

Music and Theatre Instructor

“I fell in love with theatre in the 8th grade while performing in The Wizard of Oz. I felt more confident and free than I had ever felt in my life, and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the loving instruction of my amazing teachers and mentors. Theatre is a safe space for so many, and in becoming a teacher, I hope to cultivate that safe space for many other kids who find that they are themselves the most when they are on stage pretending to be someone else.”
