Dominque
Simmons

Artistic Director
Occupation: Teacher

Dominque is a former Broadway World award nominated stage actress whose theatre education hails from Casper’s own community college, under the direction of the late Tom Empey. She spent many years performing professionally in musical theatre productions all over the region, such as Big River, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, She Loves Me, and many more. Lately, her focus has shifted from being on stage to teaching reading and directing theatre productions at CY Middle School.

Dominque has a true passion in developing and nurturing the next generation of fine arts performers, and the CCT allowing her to do just that makes her feel ultra lucky!

Audrey

Occupation: Teacher

Audrey currently teaches 8th grade Language Arts and directs the theatre productions at CY Middle School.

Since then she has been in many productions in both the United States and Canada, and has traveled with the cast of Up With People performing the show, Roads, for a year.

Audrey’s love of theatre has focused more on directing and inspiring young performers in the last decade. Joining the CCT has been a dream come true for Audrey, and she is excited to use her passion and talents to inspire, direct, and shape the landscape of children’s theatre in Casper.
