Skye Llewelyn, Music Instructor

Skye Llewelyn is a sophomore at Pacific Lutheran University, pursuing a degree in Vocal Performance. This year, they are a Resident Assistant (RA) in the dorms, on top of participating in concert band, University Singers, and some potential other ensembles. They were singing before they could talk, and have been singing in choirs since they were 5. They’ve participated in a myriad of performances, both solo and with ensembles, of both original and theatre pieces. Their first “full” theatre production was at age 9, as an ensemble member of Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s youth production of “Fiddler On The Roof Jr”. Their most recent on-stage role was as the Witch in the Lakewood Institute of Theatre’s production of “Into The Woods”. They’ve been participating in LIT shows since 2014. They were also recently a backstage singer for the Lakewood Playhouse’s production of “The Producers”. Skye is also an instrumentalist, mostly focusing on piano, classical guitar, saxophone, and oboe.

In terms of the technical side of theatre, Skye is relatively new compared to their music experience. They started learning about technical theatre in general during their freshman year at Tacoma School of the Arts (high school)  and were operating the lightboard and designing for both theatre and dance shows by their junior and senior year, as well as the monthly concert their school put on. They were also an Assistant Stage Manager/Assistant Production Manager for Tacoma Opera for 2 years. Their first solo (no or very little mentorship) lighting designs were for the Lakewood Institute of Theatre winter camps, Jungle Book Jr. and Legally Blonde Jr. They also designed the lighting for ‘10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse” and “Becoming King Arthur”, LIT’s spring productions.
