Lea Sevigny
She/Her
Acting Teacher
My love of theatre started in high school where I participated in every area both onstage and backstage. I loved it all and decided to get my undergraduate degree in theatre education, which enabled me to bring all of my passions together and teach. Since then, I’ve worked in community theatre in various capacities for over 30 years. Lately, I’m spending more time in nature than in the theatre, so I love teaching at Civic where I get to connect with students eager to experience the elements of acting. Whether it’s their first time taking a class or their 50th, the energy and enthusiasm our students bring is infectious!
