Junior Theatre Directors
| Walter Allen Walter Allen recently moved to San Diego from the “Deep South,” specifically Northern Louisiana via Alabama. After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre and a Master’s Degree in Education, Walter taught high school English for two years before moving on to teach theatre arts at Bumpus Middle School in Hoover, Alabama for the past three and a half years. There, he developed a small after-school program of 20 students into an energetic Junior Thespian Troupe involving approximately 100 of the 1200 Bumpus students. While teaching, Walter spent his summers as the artistic director for the University of Alabama at Birmingham Musical Theatre Academy for students age seven to eighteen. At both his middle school program and the academy, he directed and choreographed productions such as Once on this Island, How to Eat Like a Child and Land of the Dragon. In addition, he wrote and directed several children’s shows including Wonderland High, a modern high-school adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice stories. Walter also worked with his students in both programs to co-write several full length productions including Day of Awakening, an Egyptian fable with a Monty Python-esque twist. During the school year, Walter has also been an active participant in community and educational theatres from performances in A Chorus Line and Damn Yankees, to director and choreographer of shows such as Oliver! and No, No, Nanette. Currently, Walter teaches Video Production at Eastlake Middle School. Since his move to San Diego, Walter has worked with Junior Theatre on such productions as To Kill a Mockingbird, Peter Pan, and Grease. |
