Laura Snyder: Director/Choreographer/Producer

Laura is President/Executive Director and Founder of Alpine Community Theater (ACT). Laura has had an active part in producing, directing, and choreographing each of ACT’s musical productions since its inception in 2003. Theatre is her passion and has been since she was a child. She grew up attending musicals and listening to musical soundtracks which inspired her to direct her own plays and puppet shows- doing her own acting, singing, dancing- and creating her own choreography to present to her family and neighborhood friends. Laura founded ACT Performing Arts Academy in 2011 where she directs Kids in the ACT Youth Theatre for youth ages 8-18. She loves working with youth, inspiring, nurturing and coaching them in theatre arts, and helping to instill skills that will empower them throughout their life. Laura has over 40 years of musical theatre and dance experience and enjoys sharing her great love for musical theatre with the community and especially to the youth she trains. Laura graduated from Brigham Young University in Theatre Arts Studies with an emphasis in Directing. She received her Master’s degree in Arts Administration from Southern Utah University.

Avery is a vocal coach and theatre practitioner based in Utah County. She is an MFA candidate at BYU, currently studying and teaching creative writing. An avid Charles Dickens and Alan Menken fan, she has loved every minute working on this show with a wonderful and talented cast a crew. When not at the theater or writing, you can find her painting, hiking, or napping on the couch after a good read.

Rebecca Call: Choreographer

Rebecca has a degree in Dance from BYU. She was a member of BYU’s Ballroom Dance Tour Team and traveled the world with them for three years. After teaching for a few years after graduating, she took an extended sabbatical to raise her beautiful children. This is her first time back in the studio and she was so happy to discover that she still loves to dance, choreograph, and teach! She is incredibly grateful for her husband and children who encouraged her and reminded her that she can “do this!”.
