Meet The Team

Hi, I’m Amber Dawn. I have dedicated myself to finding resonance in my life through the craft of singing, and, by the same token, I have found my voice by seeking resonance in my life. 

Through my continued studies in music, psychology, and voice pedagogy, combined with fifteen years of professional performing experience, I am committed to evolving each day as a coach, performer, and human being.

It is my great honor to act as a guide for my clients at every step of their journey to finding their own resonance.

Brennan Prince is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Media Entertainment Arts. He has spent the last four years acting and singing his way through some of his dream roles, working tech, and learning the ins and outs of live theatre. He is thrilled to begin working through a few more dreams of his with this new venture, and grateful for the opportunity. 

As an educator, “outreach through entertainment” is a philosophy he holds near to his heart, and hopes to pursue this philosophy through his work with The DEN. Creating is a lifelong passion of his and he is excited to see how DEN Theatricals will be shaped by that passion.

I began teaching elementary art at Coast Episcopal School when my children were young, then moved to Hancock County Schools where I taught Art I, junior high, middle school, and eventually Art II and Art III. While teaching high school, I began teaching summer art camps and after school art lessons for adolescents. I found I really enjoyed the freedom and the intimate setting of private classes. After I retired from full time teaching I found I really missed teaching art. So, in February of 2021, I began teaching adult ceramic classes in my outdoor studio. I love teaching art to all ages.

My love of both clay and watercolors began before I finished my BFA in Graphic Design at LSU. In 2008, I found myself in Oakland, California, I had the opportunity to pursue clay and watercolor painting at Laney Community College. I look forward to sharing my love of clay and creating with every student I meet.
