Brittany Steelhammer

Brittany Steelhammer, a RISPA company alumna, has been a part of the fabulous RISPA family since it first opened. After graduating from Milton High School in 2011, Brittany attended The University of Alabama – ROLL TIDE – where she earned her BA in Musical Theatre. While in college, Brittany played roles including Jamison in Animal Crackers, Pennywise in Urinetown, Gussie in Merrily We Roll Along, and won awards such as the “Best Freshman Award” and the “Marian Gallaway Award For Excellence in Acting”. She was also the first undergraduate to choreograph a departmental musical production titled A New Brain. Right after graduating college, she was accepted to the Disney College Program where she worked in Disney Entertainment as a Character Attendant in Magic Kingdom.

When Brittany came home from the happiest place on earth, she returned to her alma mater Milton High School for a year where she taught acting, musical theatre, and cirque. While teaching at Milton, Brittany directed the musical titled See Rock City & Other Destinations, which went on to compete at the Georgia Theatre Conference where one of her students won an award for Best Actress. During that time, Brittany also returned home to RISPA where she began directing the RCT productions including Annie Jr, Lion King Kids, Willy Wonka Kids, Cinderella Kids, Aristocats Kids, and RTP productions including Frozen Jr. and Elf Jr. While directing RCT’s Jungle Book Kids, Brittany discovered her talent and love for theatrical lighting. From then on, she was designing the lights for every RISPA production, and loved every minute of it!
