Brittany Holtsclaw - Studio Artistic Director/Owner
Living her dream, studio owner Brittany Holtslcaw is thrilled to direct her 5th BOSS Showcase. Brittany fell in love with the stage as a child. After years in Talented Theatre and graduating NOCCA, she received her BFA in Drama from New York University, and later worked in TV & Film. She has performed in New York and New Orleans, and locally with many theatres, most recently River Region Drama Guild, Rivertown, & St. Philip Neri. Brittany worked as an 8th Grade ELA teacher for 7 years before she left formal education to pursue the studio full time. She continues to be active as a choreographer, studio teacher, and performer. Brittany thanks her partner Raul, and her large, loving family, and her fellow BOSS team for their dedication to make tonight possible. She continues to be humbled by the support BOSS families and feels blessed for the chance to share her passion with her students. Her favorite role is Mommy to Leif, and wishes everyone Happy Mother's Day.
