Meet Our Team!
Maura Scatenato Murphy Artistic Director
Maura’s love for performing has been a lifelong adventure, filled with lights, laughter, and plenty of memorable moments on and off the stage. She's spent years diving into the world of performing arts, developing her skills and finding every opportunity to be on stage (or at least near one).
Her dedication paid off when she completed the Performing Arts Industry Program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she received top-notch training. She also brings years of experience in behavior therapy, working with children of all abilities. This gives her a unique edge when it comes to connecting with students, building confidence, and turning stage fright into stage delight. These days, Maura is beyond excited to keep doing what she loves: performing, teaching, and helping kids discover that the spotlight is big enough for everyone.
Amanda Maron Director
Amanda has been performing since age 9, loves musical theatre, and as a mom of two incredible children is thrilled to help pass that love along to the next generation. She is passionate about guiding kids towards finding their confidence on stage while having fun! She’s so excited to join the Little Lights team!
Jessica Beitscher Vocal Director
Jessica is an educator, singer, and theatre artist with a background in early childhood and special education. She holds a master’s degree in Special Education and has experience working with children of varying ages and abilities. A lifelong performer with a love of musical theatre and opera, Jessica is passionate about helping young performers build healthy vocal skills, confidence, and a love of singing. She is thrilled to be part of Little Lights Theatre Co. as Vocal Director and Social Media Coordinator for Beauty and the Beast JR.
Kayla D'agostino Director
Kayla is thrilled to be joining Little Lights, bringing with her years of experience both performing and teaching theater. Her passion for the stage began at a young age and has only grown stronger through her work in community programs and educational settings.
Fun fact: Kayla and Maura first met while performing in a local production and quickly formed a strong bond over their shared love of theater. Now, they’re excited to come full circle by giving back to the very programs that helped shape their own journeys.
Morgan Glantz Assistant Director
We truly don’t know what we would do without Miss Morgan! She has a natural gift for connecting with kids, and her energy, patience, and creativity make her an invaluable part of the Little Lights team. We’re so lucky to have her!
Most recently, Morgan lit up the stage in her high school’s production of Anastasia, where she showcased her talent and love for performing. She’s now looking forward to continuing her theatrical journey in college, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll accomplish!
