Mrs. Christman is delighted to be directing the Spring musical for CCST again this year! Mrs. Christman fell in love with the theatre during high school, when she had the opportunity to work crew and perform in her school’s annual productions. She studied Integrative Arts: English and Theatre at the Pennsylvania State University. While there, she acted in and directed numerous productions for a student-run theatre group, called No Refund Theatre (NRT). She also wrote, directed, and produced a full-length play as her senior thesis project. Following college, Mrs. Christman worked for several years in professional theatres from Maine to Florida. While at George Street Playhouse, she directed a professional, touring youth theatre production, called Peacemaker and taught various acting classes. While at Collegium, Mrs. Christman has directed many productions, including Cinderella: Enchanted, Into the Woods, and The Importance of Being Earnest, in addition to developing and overseeing several drama clubs and programs over the past 13 years. She is extremely excited to see what the future holds for the performing arts at CCS!
Daniel Grayberg is making his CCS debut as Vocal Director. He has a major in Music Education and a minor in Music Theater from Westminster Choir College.

Some of his favorite musical experiences include conducting Les Miserables, playing Tommy in The Who's Tommy, and playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Supestar. He is the CCS Middle School Band Teacher, and still in awe of the musical talent from the students here at CCS. Lots of love to my extremely talented wife, Heather, and our newborn, Eden
