Cari is thrilled to be program director for the Young People’s Summer Theatre Program again this year! After earning her M.A. in Educational Theater from NYU, she taught 6th grade and music at the Mary McDowell School in Brooklyn NY. After moving to New Jersey, she became the Performing Arts Coordinator at the Cambridge School in Pennington where she currently teaches music and drama and directs the school musical. Cari has performed in Little Women and Gentlemen Prefer Blonds, both with Newtown Arts Company. Additionally, she enjoys writing music and performing her original songs in the area. Cari lives in New Jersey with her husband David, daughter Zinnia and dog Maggie.
Running the summer program every year is such a thrill! On the first day, they are a group of individuals most of whom do not know each other at all. As the week progresses, they become a real community and learn to work with and trust one another. Through laughter, dedication and team work the teachers and students of the Young People's Summer Theatre Program always have a wonderful week together and put on a fantastic performance. The most beautiful thing for me to watch, coming from a teacher’s background, is to see the older students take the younger ones under their wing and the younger ones, in turn, admire and look up to their older peers. It is a real bonding experience for these children and I believe that they grow both as actors and people throughout the experience.
