Hi! I'm Beverly Pruzina, a Shenandoah University Career Switcher endorsed in Social Science, Theatre and English in the State of Virginia.  I also have a Bachelors of Communications from Temple University in Philadelphia.  I’m thrilled to be at Woodgrove High School, serving as the Theatre Director.  Prior to coming to the school in 2021, I taught for 4 years at Eagle Ridge MS in Ashburn where I piloted the Exploratory Dramatics Elective for LCPS beginning in 2018.  Before teaching,  I owned a franchised theatre business for 10 years and worked as a broadcast journalist on radio and television in Richmond, VA. In addition, I have more than 20 years with work as a professional actor and theatre director.  I am honored to be here at Woodgrove and am looking forward to the curtain rising again for the community as we bring family-friendly community shows and intellectual showcases for our theatre community. As a proud wife and mother of a few LCPS students of my own, I love learning! My classroom specialty is using lessons to promote real life opportunities that will enhance self-esteem, confidence as well as respect for theatre and others.  Here's the new Woodgrove Theatre Website - https://whsgrovetheater.wixsite.com/the-grove-theater/season
