Founding director - CAROLINE FRAME

Caroline Frame, the Director of Courtyard Theatre Productions, was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has lived in the surrounding areas the majority of her life. She graduated from Stroud High School. It was there that she was first introduced and fell in love the stage. She later went on to ORU, where she met her husband Justin and graduated with a degree in music.  She began Courtyard Theatre Productions in 2009 after noticing a lack of theatre performance options for homeschooling families. Her passion for seeing kids grow, stretch, and shine on stage is evident in the contagious enthusiasm she brings to each production. Her background on the stage, in music, and dance provides well rounded educational experience to Courtyard participants. Courtyard has since grown to serve homeschool, private, public school students and families. She loves sharing her passion for theatre and the arts with children and adults.  Currently, she resides in Tulsa with her husband and five children.

What inspires her:

• The spark in the eyes of a kid on stage for the first time.• Seeing kid's with special needs discover their "voice"• Seeing an audience fully vested in a performance

Favorite Theatre Productions:

• Fiddler on the Roof • My Fair Lady
