Creative Youth Theater
 

About the Director: Christie Miller

Christie has been a drama teacher, director and playwright for 20 years.
Many say they can't believe her patience in working with kids as well as her
creativity to make this a great experience for the cast and the audience as well.
She started Creative Youth Theater  because she was disturbed by the fact that
most plays have only a few lead parts  and then a few very minor parts.
She wanted all kids to have a chance to shine  and to express a
well-developed character.
Her goal is to provide a safe place for kids to grow in
their courage and communication skills.
 To this end, she usually writes most of the plays we do so that each actor
 has a well-developed character with lines and fun times on stage.

In addition to directing Creative Youth Theater,
Christie has been an  English Teacher for
26 years and is currently teaching for a
Home School Cooperative called
 Zacchaeus Learning Opportunities (ZLO.org)
  (with classes for 5th-12th graders).
 

She is also the director for
Northwest Christian Speakers Bureau
(www.nwspeakers.com)
where she matches speakers with Christian events.
Through her ministry, Fresh Look Ministry,
she speaks as well all over the United States
in addition to  providing training for speakers.
 

She has also written several books and workbooks
on Christian Living and her newest book is called
TRAVEL GUIDE FOR THE CURIOUS
(How the cities on the I-5 corridor in Washington got their names)
which are available at www.FreshLookPublishing.com 
Christie has two grown children and lives in Bellingham with her
husband of 32 years.
