Elizabeth Rand
Executive Director (Denver/Boulder, CO) Operations, Sponsor Relations, School Relations, Administration Beth began her technical theatre career at her own high school theatre. She credits her success in the educational theatre field to the high school theatre manager and professional technicians who first mentored her. Beth has designed and taught stage lighting in high schools, universities and professional theatres for over 20 years, and was also a High School Theatre Manager for 7 of those years. After spending so many years in technical theatre education and seeing so many drama teachers struggle to support their students in tech theatre, Beth decided to hang out her shingle as a High School Theatre Operations Consultant and dedicate her life’s work to this cause. She also went on to publish several books, and develop online courses, in lighting design and high school theatre management. Beth has worked in over 25 school theatres in California, Washington, and recently Colorado, and now works passionately to empower high school theater programs all over the country. Beth has also worked in construction management, property management, and as an architectural lighting designer. She has consulted on the construction and/or equipment upgrades of several school theatres. Beth’s bachelor’s degree is in Stage Lighting and her master’s degree in Entertainment Business Management. She holds a high school Theatre CTE teaching certificate. She is also a Landmark Education Leadership Program graduate and Girl Scouts Training of Trainers graduate. Beth@PRESETT.org |

Cordelia Hollingsworth
Outreach Director (Seattle) Outreach, Fundraising, Marketing, Communications, Development Cordelia grew up in theatre working with her mum. She then moved on to work at several Performing Arts Centers, graduated from Vancouver Film School, and worked in the film industry in production and also stunts before discovering her passion for being a Parkour athlete. Despite shifting her focus from theatre and film to a sport, the education she received in technical theatre was invaluable to learning how to manage groups effectively and use creativity to design systems. Because of her foundation in theatre she is now the Program Director of the non-profit Parkour Visions. She still maintains her relationship to theatre and film by working as a Lighting Designer at several high school Performing Art Centers in Washington, and does stunts and video productions in the Parkour industry. She is passionate about empowering students to transfer the knowledge they gain in educational tech theatre to the workforce – regardless of whether they continue on to do technical theatre after high school or enter another profession. Cory is a Landmark Education Leadership Program graduate and Introduction Program Leader. Cordeliastorm@gmail.com |
