The original and largest network of part-time performing arts schools for 4-18 year olds

StageCoach Portland student, Brooke Gatto, has had a string of exciting opportunities this year. In September 2011 young Brooke appeared as one of the Oakley Kids in 'Annie Get Your Gun' at the Lakewood theatre. Prior to that Brook was in the children's chorus of 'The Secret Garden', at the same venue.

To top off a fantastic year of performance, Brook will perform alongside one of StageCoach Portland Teachers, Krissy Rector, in Lakewood Theatre Company's production of 'White Christmas'.

Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas' opened November 4 with performances running through to December 18. The theatre is located at Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street in Lake Oswego.

Stagecoach Portland Principal, Lisa Mitchell, said: Brooke is a dedicated student who has continued training at StageCoach and maintaining good grades in school even during her rigorous rehearsal and performance schedule this Fall! Her hard work is really paying off!
