KIERSTEN PRESCOTT

Minis Theater Teacher

I have always loved children from the time a was a pre teen and having my own babysitting business. Besides those years I have enjoyed working with children for 9 years now, and this will be my 3rd year as the early learner teacher at Ziegfeld. I enjoy getting to know each child and working on their individual level along with incorporating learning ways to what they are most interested in. I have a great deal of patience and am also CPR and first aide certified.

CASSIDY HEISE

Theater Teacher

Cassidy Wixon (Heise) has 20 years experinece as a performer. She was bitten by the acting bug in Jr. High, but when she auditioned for her first musical in high school and wasn't cast, it became her mission to become a "triple threat." She studied at The Performer's Studio in SLC for 3 years. During her time, she participated in their intensive "Singers Academy" which teaches not only how to sing and act for Musical Theater, but to sing and act every song that's put in front of you. In lessons your child will learn how to sing it all vocally, healthily, emotionally connected, and with the confidence to have that "star power" every director looks for.

She went on to study musical theatre at Weber State University for 6 years where she had amazing vocal teachers such as Maurie Tarbox, Kenneth Plain, and Jim Christian. She has performed in many professional/ semi-professional theatres in Northern Utah including Lagoon, Good Company Theatre, and, of course, here at The Zig. Her talents have even taken her to NYC where she attended The Open Jar Institute and got a crash course from professionals on what it takes to make it as a Performer.
