Who's Who

Tiffany Dunagan
A former fifth-grade teacher at Queen's Grant, Mrs. Dunagan had the vision and drive to bring musical theater to the school, and her students will be forever grateful to her for that leadership. "Honk! Jr." is the sixth musical she has directed at Queen's Grant (five middle school productions, plus "101 Dalmatians" on the elementary level). In addition to her leadership in school productions, Mrs. Dunagan takes her students each January to Music Theatre International's Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, where they engage in acting, singing and dancing workshops, and perform in front of theater industry leaders. Each spring, she also takes them to a condensed version of the festival at the Broadway Junior Celebration, held at the Knight Theater in uptown Charlotte. In 2011, Mrs. Dunagan was honored by iTheatrics as a recipient of the Freddie G Award. She would like to thank all of the parents and students for making the QG productions such an awesome experience each year!
