Frances Limoncelli, Upper School theater teacher
Although this is her first year in the Performing Arts Department at Latin, Ms. Limoncelli has had a passion for theater since she was little. “I am the fourth out of five kids in my family who were all into performing,” Ms. Limoncelli said. “When I was 10, they were all in musicals, and I looked up to them as my heroes, and I wanted to be just like them.” Ms. Limoncelli’s siblings drove her to pursue the performing arts, as she took inspiration from their childhood performances. “Even though I was painfully shy, I started taking voice lessons and dance lessons because I was like, ‘By the time I get to high school, I want to do that,’” she said. For the school year, she hopes to “develop meaningful relationships, especially with students interested in theatre.”
