OWEN PASTERNAK
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

Having participated in AA4K summer camp shows, full-scale musical theatre productions, and the Junior Director program, Owen knows what it’s like to work with the company’s great teachers and directors, as well as the young actors. After moving back to Southern California in 2015 and rejoining the Academy in August 2018, he volunteered as a stagehand for AA4K productions of The Greatest Showmen, Peter Pan, and Frozen. During the summer of 2019, Owen volunteered his time as a technical director for summer camp at the Cabrillo Playhouse in San Clemente. Now old for a work permit, Owen was hired for the fall 2019 production of Annie and plans to participate in many more upcoming musicals and summer camps. He has enjoyed working with the staff and children at AA4K and hopes to further develop his technical skills here at the Academy’s new home in Mission Viejo.
