Faculty & Staff 2022

Traveling Players Ensemble has a staff to student ratio of 1:4, with each ensemble directed by a theatre professional with an advanced degree, aided by two assistant directors who have or are pursuing undergraduate degrees. This allows for personalized attention – bringing out the best in every child. All faculty are first aid and CPR certified, and transportation is provided by trained commercial bus drivers (CDL) who are at least 21 years old.
