Heidi Isaac is a director, teacher, actress, singer and dancer. She has loved being part of the
world of theater since she was a young girl. She began her "stage career" in the church

Chicago area. She's enjoyed playing many varied roles from Baloo the Bear in "The Jungle
Book" to Geneveve in "South Pacific." Though she still enjoys being on the stage performing
music, dance or drama, her true love is in teaching and directing drama to all ages. Heidi
worked in the radio industry for nearly 10 years as a producer for many talk shows, including
"Focus on the Family." Throughout that time she also developed her own custom sewing
business from home and honed her dramatic skills by directing several drama groups in the
church. She's been the Drama Director at both the middle school and the high school at
CSCS (Colorado Springs Christian School) for the past 6 years and is also currently teaching
two courses in theater at Artios Academy, a home-school arts-intensive academy in Monument.
