Jolie Rand, Owner/Director
 Growing up in Atlanta, GA, Jolie has been acting professionally since she was a young child. She had an extensive theatrical career in musicals, commercials, movies and industrial films, but decided to fully concentrate on her musical theater career in her teens. She attended Northside High School of the Performing Arts, where she was in their international touring show and represented Coca Cola as one of the "Coke Is It" kids.
Jolie graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in NYC. She was a featured performer as well as the dance captain in the Off- Broadway show Mighty Fine Music. Some of Jolie's Regional Theater credits include Anita in West Side Story and Bebe in A Chorus Line. She also worked with the legendary Howard Keel in South Pacific and with Jack Jones, Frank Gorshin and Maureen McGovern in Guys and Dolls where she understudied and performed the role of Adelaide.
Jolie has also taught dance and choreographed children as well as Broadway performers throughout the East and West Coast. Some of her choreography credits include Little Shop of Horrors, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Grease, The Music Man and West Side Story. Jolie is a proud member of Actor's Equity Association and has held this esteemed and coveted membership for 20 years.
Jolie feels fortunate to have been able to learn so much at an early age. She hopes to be able to give children the same experience and opportunities that she was given as a child.
