Hi there! My name is Aaron Johnson, and I am thrilled to be the Technical Theater Director for the Vandegrift High School Theater Company. This year marks the start of my 21st year as a high school theater arts director. I received my BFA with an emphasis in Acting from Southwestern University, class of 2004. Over the years my passion and knowledge has really grown for the technical aspect of theater arts, especially lighting, set design and construction, and sound design.

I am very grateful to be able to work with the incredible students and faculty at VHS. I believe any and all aspects of theater afford students the opportunity to create a sense of community and positive culture. I also believe in hard work, high expectations, and intrinsic motivation. It is my hope that any student that wants to can find their high school "home" in this department, where they will feel accepted and a sense of belonging. 

I look forward to an incredibly fun, productive, and positive year!
