Annick Dall
Facilitator, South High School
Annick Dall hails from many places, but the Midwest is her home. Raised in Ohio, she trained at the Experimental Theatre Wing in NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. During her time off from school, she developed and directed a summer theater camp for the kids in her neighborhood, an experience that sparked her interest in the creativity of young people, and set her on the path she’s still following today. She has performed on stages in New York, Chicago, Pittsburg, and St. Louis, and taught with Chicago Children’s Theatre, American Theater Company, and the Children’s Theatre Company here in Minneapolis. She facilitates at South and Washburn with Project Success, and has loved all the energy and inspiration she’s found from students there. Here’s to another year!

Favorite theater experience:
