Karen Van Tassel, Director/Choreographer

Karen has worked with many theatres in the Sacramento area directing children's programs and acting herself. She is the cheer coach at Bella Vista High School and GEA All Stars.

Stage Right Productions gives her the opportunity to do both and she is honored to be a part of this amazing staff.
