Background

​

Ms. Peters a graduate of the DHS theatre program, and went on to major in theatre, work professionally as a costume designer, and an actor, before heading back home to Denton after a few years to pursue her teaching certification at UNT. She has taken on many roles in theatre and film from acting to stage managing, directing, playwriting, costume and prop designing, and working backstage and in the booth. Ms. Peters considers herself a "theatrician" by trade. She believes that our talents and passions are what we have to offer our community, and that an engaging, interactive education is the foundation for bringing those talents and passions to the forefront of our students' minds. Ms. Peters knows that the best way to share her passion for theatre with students is to continue to be involved as an actor, director, designer, and stage manager, and share those experiences with them as they navigate their own artistic journey.
