Deb Doherty

is fortunate to have spent her life doing what she loves, working in the arts with young people.

After her studies at Hartt School Of Music and UMass Boston she began her theater career in the Boston area, met her husband in rehearsal, had three theatrical children and moved to Maine. She has been directing and teaching voice and acting in the Portland area ever since.

Some of her favorite directing credits include Seussical, Crazy for You, The Secret Garden, Peter Pan, All Shook Up and West Side Story.

Deb spent 15 years as the Education Director at Schoolhouse Arts Center, 10 years as the Director of Musicals at Bonny Eagle High and 15 years as Program /Entertainment Director at Point Sebago mounting 8 summer stock shows per season. After a brief two year retirement she went back to her passion of educational theater as the Director of Drama for Scarborough Schools.

She is thrilled to be joining the staff at Crescendo right in her hometown of Steep Falls!
