Meson brings over 30 years worth of musical experience to the summer theatre program, with the last 8 years as a founding member and musical director of the Woodbury Heights Children's Theatre. He has served in a variety of roles in various amateur and professional productions around the tri-state area. He is looking forward to bring his experience and expertise to the program.
I have been involved in the performing arts since I was nine years old finding the most comfort in dance. I've been teaching choreography for over 8 years and love teaching dance to all levels. When I'm not dancing you can find me working as a registered nurse on a cardiac unit in Philadelphia! Although my two passions couldn't be more different I love them both the same. I can't wait for this opportunity and I'm looking forward to working with everyone this summer!
I’m thrilled to be part of this production! I’ve been a 5th Grade teacher for 13 years and where I also served for 4 years as stage manager for Woodbury Heights Children's Theatre. I also served for 2 years as assistant director for a church theater program, contributing to meaningful, community-centered productions. My love for theater extends into the classroom, where I’ve had the joy of teaching a 6th grade theater course. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help young artists shine and for the joy that theater brings to everyone involved.
