is pleased to be back directing for Music Theater Works, after serving as Chorus Master for the June MTW production of Pippin and stage directing the MTW production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas last December. Typically seen directing operas, Sasha has enjoyed working with the Opera Festival of Chicago where her recent production of Assassinio nella Cattedrale received great critical acclaim from Opera News, among others, and she will be featured directing for the festival again next June and July. In addition to these recent credits, Sasha has directed for many local, regional and university productions in the area, as well as multiple summer programs in Italy. Also an avid choral director, Sasha serves as the Director of Music Ministries for the Park Ridge Community Church. She is honored to be able to serve on different Boards, in an effort to give back to the arts community from which she has been given so much. Next season she is scheduled to direct the MTW productions of Carousel and Legally Blonde.
