About the Director: Christie Miller

Christie has been a drama teacher, director and playwright for 20  years.
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 plenty of fun times on stage.

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

She is also the director for Northwest Christian Speakers Bureau
where she matches speakers with Christian events.
Through her ministry, Fresh Look Ministry,
she speaks as well all over the United States.
 

She has also written several books and workbooks on Christian Living which are
available through Northwest Christian Speakers Bureau .
 

Christie has two grown children and lives in Bellingham with her
husband of 30 years.
