Alyssa Christensen, a New Hampshire native, caught the acting bug at age 7 while playing a munchkin in “The Wizard of Oz.” At age 11, she took a Shakespeare on Stage course and fell in love with Shakespeare’s words. Over the next few years she was in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” twice, “As You Like It,” and “Macbeth.” Other favorite shows from Alyssa’s childhood were “Annie,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and “Pink Floyd’s, The Wall.” Although it has been many years since she has been on stage, she has always integrated theater into her job as a teacher. You have to be an entertainer to keep the attention of 26 1st graders! After seeing “Romeo and Juliet” at Shakespeare’s Globe last summer, she was inspired to pursue the stage once again! Alyssa is thankful to her husband, Michael, for always pushing her to follow her passions, and for her parents who supported her love of acting from the beginning!
