A graduate of Howard University's Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts (yes, I will bring it up) Savina has studied musical theatre, restoration comedy, Shakespeare, and devising techniques in Idaho, New York, DC, and London. They are Southern Idaho born and raised (special skills include downhill skiing, shooting a Diet Coke can through the "o", peeling a potato faster than anyone you've ever seen) and have a soft spot for creating children’s theatre and TYA. Offstage, Savina is a teaching artist and writer.
