Roxanne Diesel owner of C.A.T.S. (Creative Acting Theatre School) and Camp Broadway has taught and directed youth acting over 13 years and is excited to be working with the talented youth here in the Antelope Valley, her new home. Some of Roxannes students have gone on to perform professionally on stage and in commercials and film. Most recently one of Roxannes students was a top-20 finalist on American Juniors. Roxanne believes that providing positive, safe exposure and experiences for youth through acting is a strong self-esteem builder and feels that acting fosters good communication and presentation skills as well as responsibility, team work and creativity. Whether a child ever steps foot on a stage again, these are skills which will serve them well in school and into their adult lives," says Diesel.
