CREW

Choreographer/Stage Manager

(She/Her)

Celeste Deale is a (now graduated) senior at Langley. Despite spending three years in the theater program here, this is her first Saxon Stage production. Prior to this production, she spent thirteen years as a pre-professional ballet dancer under former dancers from American Ballet Theater, Pacific Northwest Ballet, the Washington Ballet, and the Bolshoi Ballet before "retiring" (quitting) at age sixteen. Thirteen years and all she has to show for it is a massive therapy invoice, a couple hooks in her ankle, premature arthritis, abnormal flexibility that will make any non-dancer say "hey, that isn't human," and this production. She would like to thank her parents for their flexibility and understanding as well as her cast and crew. She sincerely thanks them for enduring her incessant screaming and yelling during rehearsals. Finally, she would like to thank both Elizabeth Tippens and Mr. Kaufman for introducing her to this side of the stage and for just being amazing people in general.
