Barbara Schelstrate

Barbara Schelstrate began her ArtStream career with Alexandria Company A in 2014 and has been with them ever since.  Her other music direction experience includes Gilbert & Sullivan productions and annual CHAWbarets at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) in D.C., as well as a dozen productions at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington.  Her onstage experience includes several operas with the Washington National Opera chorus and William Inge’s Picnic with Dominion Stage.  Perhaps her favorite activity is composing music: she’s written a one-act opera, Frigga & the Mistletoe, and a musical version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was performed in 2011 at UUCA and in 2017 at CHAW.  And, of course, ten shows for ArtStream!
