    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!

    Theatre Assistants & Stagehand Leads

    Meet the hands that bring Miss Cassie's vision to life! We are devoted members of the backstage crew, and fueled by our love and admiration for Miss Cassie. Every prop we craft, every set piece we build, and every detail we tend to is done with the utmost care and dedication, solely because of the inspiration and guidance Miss Cassie provides. When the lights dim and the curtains close, our passion for ruling sets on the stage remains, and it's all because of Miss Cassie's impact on my life. We are honored to be part of her creative team and can't wait to see what the next production brings!

    Music Direction

    Cyndi Broadhead loves being a part of the ACE Theatre team. Working with the kid on music each week is such a joy. In her youth she performed in many musicals and operas such as Pippin, The Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof, Popeye, and more. She has also been a soloist since her teen years. Musical theater is in her heart and it has always been her dream to be on the “other side of the table” and now she is! She loves sharing this passion with her 3 children. It is such a blessing to be able to do this as a family.
