Taylor (Class of 2010) is over the moon about the future of Cedar Cliff Productions! In 2006, she started as an actor onstage, but fell in the love with the craft and care that takes place behind the scenes. Working professionally in theatre and film for the past 10 years has given Taylor the passion for teaching and making the impossible possible. As Artistic Director for CCP, she oversees the overall aesthetics of the program as well as leads the department chairs of Scenic Design, Props/Decor, Costumes and Wardrobe, Hair and Make-up, and Technical theatre. Taylor directs the Spring Musical and helps to mentor our Student Leadership Board (2022); helping students to reach new heights of CCP’s Character, Commitment, and Culture. When Taylor is not at CCP (or singing show tunes in her car), she can be found exploring the outdoors and working on renovating her family home of almost 70 years. She looks forward to seeing a full house at this years production!
