Meet Our Team

Phyllis Wong is a mother, a friend, a teacher, a community builder, a storyteller and a lifelong learner.  She teaches Intro to Theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, and Theatre History I & II at Cal Poly.  She holds a PhD in Theatre for Youth from ASU as well as a BA from UCLA in English-World Literature.  

Her main areas of interest and research are in storytelling, connection and promoting civic dialogue through Theatre.  She is very excited to be pioneering this theatre and climate action collaboration through Staging Change in partnership with San Luis Coastal Unified Schools.  She loves teaching and she feels privileged that she gets to witness the magic of learning everyday.  

She is the mother of two awesome children who take center stage in her heart.  When she is not on campus, you can find her hiking, reading a good book, making up silly songs with her kids or having a deep conversation with a friend.
