Emily Macway

Heather Mannion

Heather currently lives in San Carlos with her husband and two teen daughters. She grew up in New Jersey, where she sang in the glee club and various ensembles, and performed in musicals in high school. Heather came to Stanford as an undergraduate, majored in English and German literatures, and never left the Bay Area. In college, she sang with the University Singers, Chamber Chorale, and was one of the first members of a campus a cappella group. She met her husband performing in musicals in college (she was auditioning; he was student-directing). Her daughters, like her husband, are also singers and musical theater performers. She has spent the last twelve years as a stay-at-home mom, supporting the schools through work on the various education foundations, and most recently serving on the boards of Carlmont High School’s performing arts organizations, and helping to produce the annual musical. Having been a theater mom, band mom, choir mom, dance mom, and soccer/lacrosse mom for years (and soon to be “empty-nesting”), she realized she misses singing herself! She is currently serving as Volunteer Coordinator for the Chorus. In her free time, she loves to attend A.C.T., SF Symphony, and BroadwaySF performances with her family.
