Welcome!

Tetta Askeland  is a up and coming young female theatre artist from Southwest Iowa. Askeland fell into theatre from a young age when her mother took her to see Cinderella and was enchanted by the production. She remembers being in awe by the large sets, acrobatics, and the connection she felt to the story as an audience member. As Tetta grew up she loved reading would always be imagining the places she would read about. Her favorite place to image was, and still is, Hogwarts. Through reading she was able to discover the magic of storytelling and realized the importance it had on her life.
