Shasta grew up in Potlatch, Idaho, but after graduating high school, she moved to Boise in 2018. As an avid lover of the theater, Shasta’s career began at the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts where she has worked since 2019 in between ballet productions. While she has participated in most backstage departments, she usually works in props during visiting Broadway tours. In 2024, Shasta joined Ballet Idaho, and in addition to her role as Technical Director, she has contributed her props background to BI productions such as Peter Anastos’ Nutcracker and Nutcracker in a Nutshell, Dani Rowe’s Carnival of the Animals, Christopher Stowell’s Sleeping Beauty, and Penny Saunders’ Sherlock. This is Shasta’s second season with Ballet Idaho.
