Principal, Owner
Lisa Mitchell, Principal
Lisa Mitchell received her BA in Education from Western Oregon University and her MA in Teaching from Pacific University. Lisa's life long teaching career began with the Beaverton School District and took her as far afield as the Singapore American School in Singapore. She has always loved working with children and has had a passion for the arts since she was young. Lisa has performed in local theatre and as a child in television commercials. Spotlight Musical Theatre Academy is the perfect way to fulfill both interests while sharing the performing arts with a new generation of students. Lisa's father and grandfather both enjoyed lifelong careers in the film industry, so she was raised visiting film sets around the globe. Lisa has 3 children, and they love to travel and have lived in many different countries together. |
Assistant Principal
Sara Kennedy Adams, Assistant Principal
Sara received her BA in Theatre Arts at Southern Oregon University. She has been a theatre instructor for Oregon Children's Theatre since 2002 and was the Center Stage Drama Coach for this program for the first 6 years. Sara has directed several variety shows and has written original scripts for public schools in the Portland area, as well as directed plays at Multnomah Arts Center. Sara has sung in various choirs and performed as the lead vocalist in a jazz duo, Whetsell Adams. She believes that theatre training can expand children's self-confidence and imagination; improve their vocalization, physicality, creativity, and ability to improvise and work with others; and it inspires them to use these skills in their day-to-day lives. |
