Naomi Dobyns-Tanatty

Naomi Tanatty got into the play business at a young age.  Naomi’s mom was a teacher and often wrote Christmas plays and Easter plays for her students to perform at church.  Naomi would perform in the plays along with her siblings and she quickly grew to love the costumes and the songs and always anticipated the next play. When she went to camp for the first time she was thrilled to find out that there were plays every night.  It’s no surprise that she spent more than 10 years working at different Adventist summer camps when she got older.  She also joined several drama teams and started her own drama teams at different churches and schools, all of them dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus through stories and plays. Today, she’s written over 60 Christian plays and skits for young people and continues to write when she gets the chance.  As a stay-at-home mom with her beautiful newborn daughter, she doesn’t get to work at camp much anymore, but she looks forward to the day that she can introduce her daughter to camp when she gets older.  She is still dedicated to children’s ministries and teaches the children’s program at her church. He mission is to simply touch young people’s hearts the way that they have touched hers.
