Bio:
Rhonda Clark is a veteran of numerous urban and rural residencies across Oklahoma and is experienced in working with a wide range of participants, from preschoolers to adults. She directs and acts in Oklahoma City-area theatres and is the artistic director for Carpenter Square Theatre, where she has served since 1999. She is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting and directing.
Rhonda's fast-paced residencies connect drama to the curriculum, where students may be involved in storytelling, improvisation, simple mime, creative movement, and puppetry. Students may write original plays, or adapt children's literature into play format, that they can produce live or with puppets.
