About Me
Get to know me!
An energetic and thoughtful creative, Wesley Bradstreet takes great pride in telling compelling stories that spread joy and light. Some of his favorite onstage roles have included Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, Leaf Coneybear in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Sam in Fully Committed.
Wesley was born into a very musical family, so music became an integral part of his identity from a young age. Performing in school and community theatre productions as often as he could, Wesley found himself at home onstage. In addition to the countless hours of singing and dancing, he spent 7 years studying the trumpet and playing in several musical ensembles.
Wesley’s passion for music led him to Arizona State University where he earned two Bachelors of Music degrees in Music Theatre (Performance) and Music Learning & Teaching. He is fortunate to perform professionally and teach dance, acting, and private voice all over the Valley of the Sun.
In addition to performing and teaching, Wesley is an emerging director/choreographer and arts administrator. He is a strong advocate for the importance of cultivating community and strives to make genuine connections with his collaborators.
