Meet the Teacher

Amanda Gaden, Performing Arts Teacher

Hi all! I'm so comfortable talking on stage, but so uncomfortable writing about myself! Ha!

I got into teaching late in life (just began that adventure in September of 2021!), but honestly, theatre has held my heart since high school. It was and has always been the place where I feel most alive and connected to not only my best self but also to all those around me. What an honor to now be able to introduce middle schoolers to that feeling!

Besides holding a Bachelors Degree in Theatre, I've enjoyed a long history of acting and directing at different community theatres.

My Other "Loves" (Besides Theatre)

  • Those people to the left of this, in the crazy family selfie!

  • My pups (2), my bunny and my little kitty cat

  • Sunshine! Give me a day in the sun and all will be well and good.

  • My friends. I have a wonderful village that makes it all work.

  • Crafting - anything creative, really

  • Cooking - what a great way to love on people!

  • Baseball

  • College Football Saturdays!

  • Live music

  • Making a difference - any way I can, no matter how small
