Cassie McDade (formerly Trabucco) was born in New York but grew up in Nashville doing any kind of music or musical theater she could find. She did her first show when she was 6 and fell in love with every aspect of the theater. Her favorite roles have included "Kitty" in The Drowsy Chaperone, "Wednesday Addams" in The Addams Family, and "Jo March" in Little Women. Cassie got her Associates Degree in Commercial Entertainment from Columbia State Community College and later graduated from MTSU with a Bachelors Degree in Integrated Studies with emphases on Musical Theater and Dance and a minor in Music. While in college, she traveled around the country leading worship and growing in fellowship with other young musicians while enriching her skills and experience. Now, between teaching voice lessons, recording demos and songwriting, her days are filled with music. She has been teaching at CYT since the Summer of 2021 and has enjoyed music directing and coaching through several sessions. Cassie is very excited to be working at CYT and looks forward to growing with you!
