🌟This Workshop is being taught by our special guest, Wendy Hoover, Artistic Director of CYT Sacramento!🌟

Wendy Hoover has worked professionally as a singer, actor and violinist. At age ten, Wendy’s love for the theater was sparked when she first took to the stage as one of the original students in the founding years of CYT San Diego. She co-founded CYT Sacramento in 2012 and in addition to teaching various classes, Wendy has directed and/or music directed more than fifteen shows. She also teaches private voice lessons and enjoys working with singers of all skill levels to cultivate beautiful and healthful singing. She sang before she talked, started studying the violin at age four, and eventually attended the University of New Mexico, earning her degree in Music with an emphasis in voice. After gaining experience in dinner theater, cabaret, musical theater and opera, Wendy returned to Southern California and went on to play lead and supporting roles in theater, television, and film. Wendy has played a variety of onstage roles including Madame Vodskaya in The Gift of the Magi, Alice in Alice in Modernland, Christine in The Phantom in Concert, Sandy in Grease, and she even starred in a one-woman show called Marilyn...Sleepless Nights at the American Theater in Kansas City. However, people get most excited about Wendy’s appearance in the Hallmark Movie, Santa Jr. (you sappy Hallmark fans know who you are!). She also worked as a principal actor in a number of national, regional, and local commercials. Wendy and her husband Cris moved to the Sacramento area with their three dynamic kids in 2010. She’s deeply grateful to God for allowing her to use her peculiar array of gifts to serve Him and to serve this wonderfully awkward CYT family.
