Meet Ms. Allison.

Allison Link leads winter Studio Ensemble. A professional performer with a Bachelor of Music in Voice from Westminster Choir College and Meisner-based acting training at New York’s Matthew Corozine Studio, she brings music, character work, and close listening into the rehearsal room.

Her years teaching children and families through Tenn Little Birds inform a collaborative approach: give students tools, take their ideas seriously, and help them discover what they can make together. Here, young actors have a hand in the story.
