Heidi O'Toole
Director
Heidi O'Toole is tickled pink to be the director, co-producer, and co-director for Grease.
She has her B.A. in Communications from U.W.G.B, M.F.A in Musical Theatre from Roosevelt University in Chicago and an M. Ed in Education from DePaul University. Her education and professional experiences in theatre and performing have prepared her for this opportunity. She would like to thank the cast for their unwavering dedication and trust, her production staff and crew who have held her up when the going got tough, her family and friends for their constant unwavering love and support, and the arts for allowing her to open up her heart to the universe, connect to her inner talents and share that with others.
“The arts make a bridge across this world in ways that nothing else can.” – Julie Andrews
