Although often mistaken for one of the children, Andrea is most definitely the mother of the family. Everyone around the theater affectionately calls her "Mama Brett." Andrea juggles the all day, all night responsibilities of being a home-schooling mom; an entertainer and writer; an accountant; a church choir director and youth instructor; and, oh yeah, a mom and wife.
Andrea began performing as a young girl with her own brothers and sisters in Spokane, Washington. Her parents always encouraged her and her siblings to develop their musical talents. Her mother would say, "You sing, I'll do the dishes."
Andrea later attended Brigham Young University where she studied voice, choral conducting, and music composition. She now uses her training and talents to arrange all of the vocal parts and music for the family. She is also a gifted writer and has composed a moving patriotic tribute that captures the sentiments of those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms. Her song "I'll Give America My All" and poem "I Am A Veteran" have touched the hearts of many, and earned high honors nationwide. Her poem is displayed on a beautiful monument in southern Utah.
Her title of 'Arranger' for the family group holds true in more ways that one as she devotes herself to creating family harmony on and off stage. She has been a dedicated home-school teacher for all three of her children and has instilled in them her love for good music and books.
In addition to Andrea's talents as a singer, writer and teacher, she is an accomplished choral director, costume designer, and pianist. Whenever she finds spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, cooking, and all other things of a creative nature. One of her future dreams is to write a hit song.
