THEATRE AT STEINBRENNER
MEET THE TEACHER
Ms. Andrianou holds a bachelor's degree in Theatre with a minor in Dance from the University of Florida and has an extensive background in theatrical lighting and sound. She is also in her last year, pursuing a Master of Science in Business Management at the University of Florida. Her most recent accomplishments include serving as the music director for a Gainesville community theatre production, working as a research consultant on a University of Florida dance research project, and being named the University of Florida's Gator Idol champion.
Originally from Athens, Greece, Ms. Andrianou is proud of her Greek heritage, which has played an important role in shaping who she is. Outside the classroom, her greatest passion is singing and performing. Most recently, she appeared in the University of Florida's production of RENT.
She is thrilled to join the Steinbrenner community and is excited to build the theatre program alongside her students. She is committed to creating a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment where every student feels encouraged to grow, take creative risks, and discover their unique voice. She believes every student has something valuable to contribute and can't wait to see the talents each Warrior brings to the stage. She looks forward to meeting everyone and kicking off an incredible year together!

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN OUR PROGRAM?
STUDENTS' DEDICATION
The student's here are very professional and take everything given to them seriously. No matter if they plan to pursue the arts or not, they are hardworkers and love to teach those that come after them. The great thing about these students is that I'm not the only teacher, they will come in and teach classes everything they know so the knowledge is spread and known to all.
CLASS CONTENT
Classes are rigorous to challenge you and keep you on your feet but are still filled with fun projects and games! The Tech classes build the sets for all of our shows, our mainstage musical casts come straight from our Musical Theatre classes and the Theatre classes help build skills such as public speaking, teamwork, and (obviously) acting amongst many others!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
In the Steinbrenner Drama Department, we strive to make high school an enjoyable experience for all that come through our doors. Whether it be teaching them new skills or making them fall in love with a new show or kind of performance, we welcome everyone with open arms.
TROUPE 7485
The Steinbrenner Drama Department also has an honor society with a minimum of 100 hours to be accepted into it! The International Thespian Society strives to pump out the best actors, techs, singers, and dancers and keep them in shape for all years they are in high school.
