Alita Mantels

Born: October 31, 1950

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, where in 1968 I graduated as a National Merit Scholar from Grover Cleveland High School before moving to Arkansas. After graduating cum laude (with the equivalent of three language majors and an emphasis in comparative literature) from Hendrix College in 1972, I spent nearly four decades in public education before retiring in 2010. Though never a professional performer, for many years (1970s-1990s) I taught stage-crew courses, managed a 1400-seat classic performing arts theatre, and served as a technical director for various types of professional performances and community events in central Arkansas
