Austin's Story

Austin Bennett is delighted to work with CTE this summer, and to have another experience creating theatre with awesome kids! He has a deep passion for theatre education, and an appreciation for the folks at CTE who have continued to provide this meaningful experience for young theatre artists.

During the school year, he is the Theatre Program Director at Olympia High School, serves on the Washington State Thespians Advisory Board, and is a current member of the Connected Arts Network cohort. You may also have seen him onstage at Lakewood Playhouse, Harlequin Productions, The Evergreen Playhouse, Centralia College, Animal Fire Theatre, and others.

Austin would like to thank Kristina Cummins for the opportunity and for being an invaluable career mentor.
