Returning to Las Vegas, Ms. Lemos was involved with the Las Vegas Shakespeare Company portraying some of her favorite roles including Ophelia, Juliet, Hermia, and many more. She also directed and choreographed Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz at the Henderson Pavillion. Of course, her favorite role is that of mother to her two daughters Calliope and Persephone. Louisa went on to become a Teaching Artist with The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, and while employed by the Education Department, was involved in many of their programs including Disney Musicals in Schools, Camp Broadway, and Nevada High School Musical Theater Awards. All the while Louisa was busy teaching all levels and ages in dance and theatre throughout the Las Vegas Valley, California, and NYC. Being an arts educator is truly her passion and she is immeasurably honored to be continuing the tradition of theatre and dance here at BGHS.
