About Us

Theatre has been Kathy’s passion for most of her life, even bringing her young daughters along to play in the makeup room during her rehearsals. In addition to over thirty-five years of practical experience, she has a double BS in Communications and Theatre and a Masters in Communications. While living in Texas she co-founded ‘Magination Station Children’s Theatre and performed in the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh, WI before coming back home to family. Kathy has performed in the Twin Ports theatres as well as dinner theatre at the Shack Restaurant. During her years as director of the Douglas County Historical Society she created history-based theatre, and her love of history and theatre continues today as she blends the two as director, playwright, actor and producer.
