<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are a fun, family friendly theater company, new to the east valley. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My name is Betsy Love and I have been directing shows for the past 25 years, as a hobby and as a teacher in the Mesa area. I love working with teens and adults. I have acted in and produced such shows as <i>Little Nell, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Give My Regards to Broadway, Dear Ruth, The Importance of Being Earnest, Kokonut Kapers, Arsenic and Old Lace</i> to name a few. I have also written several musicals. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently, I have expanded my theatrical experience to include the community.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In February I wrote and directed </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Doll's Life</i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> (musical) at Clearview Cultural Center. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In high school I had a passion for dance and theater. I was awarded Best Choreography and was runner-up for Best Actress in a series of Road Shows my junior and senior years. After I married and while raising my family I took voice lessons, acted in and directed a few church/community shows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It wasn't until my youngest ones started school that I began my career as a theater teacher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the things that frustrated me as a teacher was that so many talented kids get swept aside because theater teachers tended to keep casting their favorite students. When I cast my first show, I decided to pick actors based on their reliability rather than on their talent. An amazing thing happened--underneath some of those "lesser" kids were actors just waiting for an opportunity to shine. Now I have been given the opportunity to expand my career to include the community. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have even the tiniest bit of talent, come share it with us here at Love Light Productions! </span><br />
