Ms. Nicki James has begun moving into the Small Theatre! She is a
graduate of Indiana University-Bloomington, and has taught theatre for the
past two years at Brown County High School. Many of you have already had
the opportunity to meet her when she interviewed at MHS earlier this spring.
What you may not know is that there was a broad-scale search for a new
director to replace Mrs. Seaver and that candidates from all over the country
applied for the position. Ms. James was chosen for many reasons, but
most of all because her philosophy of theatre and her creative talents were a
great match for our program. She looks forward to meeting all of you
soon!
