At CLHS theater we are so lucky to have Jay, Joleen, Janet, Ian (not pictured) and Robin back supporting our kids. Their talents are beyond compare and their passion is clear. We do have two new faces to introduce. Fight Choreographer: Mason Tyer & Director’s Assistant: Becky Sechrist.
With every show it brings new challenges and we try to bring in an expert to improve our program and inform the kids. This year The Addams Family has allowed us to bring in a fight choreographer: Mason Tyer. It should come as no surprise that this year’s musical has some sword play action. With that we welcome Mason to our team, we are so excited to have his expertise to help guide our students and our show! Mason Tyer is a director, violence director, intimacy director, teacher, and theatre producer living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mason is a Certified Teacher, Theatrical Firearms Safety Instructor, and Secretary for the Society of American Fight Directors. He has taught stage combat for The Guthrie, Children's Theatre Company, North Hennepin Community College, Art in Arms, and Open Gate Movement Arts. Mason is a lead teaching artist for The Guthrie and Children's Theatre Company. As a violence and intimacy director, he has worked with Journey North Opera Company, Fake Fighting Company, Children's Performing Arts, Combat Chess United, Ashland Productions, Expressions Community Theatre, Merrill Community Arts, and numerous high schools and community groups.

Becky comes with great expertise to share as well: Becky is returning to her theatrical roots after a too long hiatus. She completed her bachelors degree in theater arts with emphasis in stage management and design (more years ago than she cares to count). Becky worked on numerous University of Minnesota and community theater stages on productions ranging from Anything Goes and The Wizard of Oz to The Madwoman of Chailott and Dracula. In the ensuing years, she completed her masters in education and focused on building her public health career and raising two children. She joins her high school junior in bringing this production to life for the Chisago Lakes area where she has lived for the past twenty-two years. Welcome Becky!
