This is April's fourteenth lucky year in the EOU Theatre Department. April received her MFA in design/directing in 1987 at Rutgers University/Mason Gross School of the Arts and her BA in theatre and English literature in 1983 from Montana State University. In the 1980's, she was a professional costume designer in New York City. Her work has been seen at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, the Waterville Summer Music Theatre in Maine, the Idaho Repertory Theatre in Moscow, Idaho, and Shakespeare in the Parks in Montana. April teaches design, acting and playwriting at EOU where she anchors the costume design area. Last year, while on sabbatical, she was a mask artisan for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, a mask and theatre teacher for the Northwest Council of Studies Abroad in Athens and a traveler to Turkey, the Czech Republic and Costa Rica. Most recently, April directed the EOU Theatre program's mounting of Medea. The most unusual moment of her career was being asked to hold Michael Jackson's monkey during a dance rehearsal. Love as always to Brian, Lara, Travis and Vaughn.
