My name is Elise Newbold, and I am the Head Theatre Director at SLMS. I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre. At home, I have an adorable Chiweenie puppy named Phoebe. I have a passion for world travel and adventure, as well as a great love for the arts. In my class, everyone is welcome. As you all will soon find out, this class is a family- a home away from home. Even though these are uncertain times, I am excited to begin this journey of engaged learning and fantastic fun! My goal by the end of this course is to not only teach students how to be character, but also, how to be themselves.
