Last year, Ms. Patlove directed and produced Charlotte Lab School's first musical, Shrek jr at Camp North End. Kasie believes that all students deserve an opportunity to create, interpret and participate in the performing arts by thinking like an artist. Her pedagogy focuses on culturally relevant theatrical practices and the mission that theater can be used to engage hearts and minds to make a greater impact on their world. All students will engage in acting, directing and theater technology, as well as develop skills that will support them in college and beyond. Kasie is so excited to be piloting the performing arts program at Charlotte Lab!
