Mandy has directed, musical directed, and choreographed perhaps countless shows (both scripted and Un-Scripted) in her capacity as an artist and an educator. Starting in 2020, due to the pandemic lockdown, all her directing projects were films. (So that was a great learning opportunity!) Now that we’re back in person doing live theater again, she is currently both Technical Director and Resident Artist at Bag&Baggage, in Hillsboro, OR.
