Cast and Crew Bios

Vanessa Becker (Director) has served on the Phoenix staff as an Actor, Director, Choreographer, and Education Director for ten years. You can occasionally see Vanessa venture out at other local theatres but she is proud to call the Phoenix her theatrical home. Thanks and love to her always supportive family, and to the adventurous cast and crew at the Phoenix.

Heather Burley (Actor) is the Associate Education Director at the Phoenix. She graduated from OSU with a B.A. in Theatre and an M. Ed in Drama Education. Favorite shows for the Phoenix: Go, Dog. Go!, Aesop's Fables, and The BFG. Heather is very excited to reprise her multiple roles in Ballet Met's production of Alice in Wonderland next month.

Zach Hartley (Actor) is pleased to be working once again with the Phoenix after spending the past year in Hong Kong teaching drama classes to Chinese students. Phoenix credits include Huck Finn's American Song, Go, Dog. Go!, The Emperor's New Clothes, and Aesop's Fables. In his free time, Zach enjoys video games and throwing Frisbees as far as he can. He'd like to thank his friends and family for always supporting his ever-changing dreams.
