Churchville elementary
Crew Who's Who
-
Mrs. Tara Handfinger
Director
Mrs. Handfinger is the STEAM teacher at Churchville but is also the school's show director. She has been directing shows at Churcvhille for 11 years, and directed classroom shows for many years before that. She loves being a part of the production because she gets to see her students shine outside of her classroom. She is grateful to have the opportunity to work with some amazing teachers and staff members who have helped with the show in some capacity. Mrs. Handfinger is beyond proud of every cast member and crew for their outstanding performances on stage!

Mrs. Kerry Gallagher
Choreographer
Mrs. Gallagher is a 3rd-grade teacher and is our Choreographer! She has enjoyed helping Mrs. Handfinger with the Churchville shows for as long as she can remember, including her favorites: The Lion King and Moana! Mrs. Gallagher LOVES being a part of the production because she is obsessed with musical theatre - and getting to creatively add movement to the songs in the plays! She feels so lucky to work with all of the cast members each week at rehearsals and is so proud to see them perform!! Mrs. Gallagher says, "Break a Leg!" (but not really - since that won't be good for all of the songs that I choreographed!!)!!! I know you are all going to be AMAZING!!!

Mrs. Beth Lynch
Sets and Props Director
Beth Lynch is our Churchville Art Teacher and is the WOZ Scenery and Prop Director. She has helped in over 20 Churchville shows, including Wonka, Moana, Lion King, Aladdin, Annie, among many more. Mrs. Lynch likes being a part of the production because she truly enjoys seeing the actors, actresses, artists, and stage crew turn a musical written on paper into a magical work of artistry! Mrs. Lynch wishes that the cast always remembers that there is "No place like home!" and that they cherish the memories created on our Churchville stage forever!
