Buckeye Community Youth Theatre
Presents…….. 

2011 Fall Youth Theatre
Classes!

8 week classes begin Monday,
September 26, 2010

Director
Amanda Clements is
thrilled to return with her unique, high-energy and “outside-the-box” perspective
to the students at BCT! Amanda graduated from Bowling Green State University
with a BAC in Acting/Directing in 2008, where she received numerous
talent-based scholarships and grants. She is a two-time Irene Ryan National
Acting Scholarship Nominee and competed nationally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her
senior year she had the opportunity to study theatre abroad in London, England.
After graduation, she spent a season at the Huron Playhouse as Costume Shop
Supervisor/ Costume Designer for Rumors.
Back in Medina, she worked in conjunction with Artventure Studio and Gallery to
offer theatrical classes and private instruction for actors, costume designers
and make-up artists. Amanda most recently spent a year as Medina High School’s
Drama Advisor, leading students through their first-time directing experiences,
and directing Gutenberg! The Musical!
to a sold-out crowd. She is frequently active in Medina County Show Biz
Company, but has also performed with Stage Left Theatre Company and North
Ridgeville Players. Her teaching method rests in the knowledge that a safe and
comfortable environment will foster creativity and personal growth within every
student. Respect, fun and new ideas are at the core of her classroom
experience, and wonderful things happen when you least expect it!

If a reaction to the makeup is found we will create an alternative solution.
