Finnley Penningroth

Finnley has been training in the arts for 9 years studying in the areas of drama, art, dance and music. From Fiddle to Break Dancing, and everything in between, Finnley’s wide-ranging exploration of the arts has not only earned her a variety of creative skills and techniques, but also exposed her to many different teaching styles and tactics. Finnley has taken years of drama classes, musical theatre, playwriting, acting for the camera and has participated in countless plays and productions.  

As the oldest of five, Finnley has had a lot of experience working with children. She has a special understanding for students struggling with anxieties and believes that the arts are a great way to build self confidence and self worth. Finnley’s compassionate and observant nature allows her to cater to various learning styles with patience and care. Finnley's goal as a teacher is to create a fun and positive space where students can build skills and grow as individuals. 

Before becoming a drama teacher Finnley volunteered as an assistant teacher in art, dance and drama classes and was hired to sub classes like drama and dance as needed. This will be Finnley’s second year on faculty at Creative Edge School of Arts. In addition to her role as a theatre instructor, she has also been appointed assistant director for our full-scale production of Newsies. She can't wait to share her knowledge and have some fun in drama class this year!
