About the instructor: Sage Tokach is an assistant professor in the Theatre for Young Audiences department at the University of Central Florida, where she received her MFA in 2022. In Orlando, Sage works as a guest director at Orlando Family Stage and coordinates the Jeanette M Gould Traveling Theater, which brings arts programming to local children’s hospitals.

In any project, Sage is interested in creating a learning space where students of all ages are encouraged to explore, share ideas, and ask challenging questions.
