Cassie Smith
Director & Producer
Mrs. Cassie, the visionary founder and director of Alternate Community Education, LLC, is thrilled to bring Alice in Wonderland Jr. to life as her third licensed production as director, following Beauty and the Beast Jr. and Elf Jr. Over the past 11 years, she has produced over 10 shows with ACE, cherishing every moment of watching her incredible students grow. With no prior theatre experience before ACE, Mrs. Cassie has embraced her inner artist, pouring her youthful passion for art into designing vibrant costumes, hair, makeup, props, and set pieces. The true highlight, though, is seeing the kids shine—especially her daughter, Stacy, a current ACE star. Theatre has become a family affair: her husband, Josh, masterfully constructs the sets, while her son, Treyton, a former ACE theatre star, paved the way. Mrs. Cassie’s heart soars watching her unplanned theatre family and talented students transform Wonderland into a magical adventure!
