Meet The Directors
LAUREN SCHAEFFER (Director) is so thrilled to head back to the Pridelands this January, after having directed Lion King JR last year with Servant Stage's summer camp program. She has great memories from the various SS youth productions she has worked on, including Once on this Island JR, Aladdin JR, Frozen JR (2020, 2022), and Godspell JR! Lauren is a Liberty University alum and graduated with an Interdisciplinary degree which combined theatre, ministry, and psychology. She currently works on staff for Servant Stage, enjoys performing when she gets the chance, and is most excited for her and her husband JT to teach their little girl all about the world of theatre!
AMBERLY BARKER (Education Program Manager ) is excited to be a part of bringing theatre education to the Lancaster area with Servant Stage. Originally from Berks County, she spent four years in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida earning a B.A. in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in musical theatre performance from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Since then she has spent the last nine years at Sight & Sound, a member of the stage management team for most of that time. She lives in Lititz with her husband, Mike, and their daughters, Marley and Delaney. She carves out time in her life for reading, hiking, showtunes, and sweet friendships. Zephaniah 3:17
