John Sides
Director
Mr. Sides is an original Hawk, having taught at HVA since its inception. He spent his first years here teaching primarily English, but is happy to be reunited with his true passion in the Theatre department. His previous work at HVA includes The Music Man, Honk!, and the short-lived Into the Woods. He's thrilled at the opportunity to do something a little different with Musical Theatre in presenting this revue and hopes you will join us in the spring as well for Once Upon a Mattress.
