NORCROSS HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE DIRECTOR
GINA MARIE PARRISH
ina Parrish (nicknamed “Pev”) is in her 35th year of teaching and directing.
She graduated from Sam Houston State University with a B.F.A. and from University of Virginia with an M.Ed.
Under her tutelage, Norcross High School (NHS) Thespian Troupe members are educated in all aspects of theatre: from lighting and sound, choreography, making and sewing their own costumes to building and constructing next-level sets. Her Thespian Troupe members are dedicated, committed and learn the importance of having a strong work ethic. They rehearse after school and on weekends to give every performance everything they’ve got.
“Our theatre program, much like that of sports, band and others, gives students a family at school — an outlet and place to belong. For some, if it were not for their extracurricular activity, they might not have stayed in school,” Parrish said. “That is one of the things I am most proud of, being a part of an amazing group of teachers who care so much about their kids and give all they have to ensure their success.”.
Established in 1990, the Hall of Fame recognizes those members who have made outstanding contributions to theatre education for 20 or more years, and induction represents the highest honor awarded by the Educational Theatre Association to theatre educators. Each year, new members are inducted at the EdTA Theatre Education Conference, celebrating the impact they have had in shaping lives through theatre education.
