Meet the Company

Jarrett Rettman

Music Director
Jarrett is ecstatic to serve as music director for this production, and perform this illustrious body of work! A proud graduate of CCBC-Essex and Towson University, where he received his B.S. in Music Education K-12 with a concentration in classical and jazz piano, he has since been teaching all across the county with BCPS, including eight spectacular years right here at Dundalk Elementary. Additionally, he also served as Director of Music Ministries at Holy Communion Lutheran Church in Fallston, leading traditional Worship from the organ while directing the Chancel Choir and leading contemporary Worship from the piano and guitar alongside the praise band. He also founded the church's first Children's Choir, Handbell Ensembles, and musical theatre program. Jarrett is always playing something somewhere around the state, but must recent theatre credits include "The Wizard of Oz" (HCC - MD/Keys 1+2), "Shrek" (BT School - MD), and "Spring Awakening" (Tidewater Players - MD). When he isn't doing all of that, Jarrett enjoys walking, gardening, and visiting The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
