About Kimberley
Figuring out how to make the odd or unusual accessible and meaningful is my favorite thing to do! I believe in creating stories on stage that resonate in the heart of people today - through new works or new, adventurous interpretations of existing productions.
Kimberley (she/her) got her first musical theatre CD (The Music Man) at age 5, learned what Broadway was at age 6, and never looked back! She mostly grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a few long interludes sailing and adventuring up and down the East and West Coast with her family.
A graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz, Kimberley spent four fantastic years studying, sailing, and singing her way through her studies. She received B.A. degrees in Music (Vocal Performance), Economics, and Environmental Studies. Kimberley spent several wonderful years in the San Francisco Bay Area, enjoying opportunities to develop relationships with many Bay Area companies as a performer and gaining her Equity card. She had the privilege of starting as an intern at the arts nonprofit Theatre Bay Area and working her way up to leading all programming as the Programs Director. Upon moving to New York City, Kimberley was immediately was cast in a new musical at Theatre for the New City (a Pulitzer Prize-winning community cultural center).
As a jack-of-all-trades arts organizer with experience in general management, producing, fundraising, grants management, and marketing, Kimberley loves to solve problems in creative ways. She is proud to serve as the Voice and Speech Trainers Association's first Managing Director and as the Operations Director for the Dessoff Choirs in NYC.
Kimberley is also proud to represent the "hippie" community, after getting bilateral hip replacements in 2021. After a lifetime of pain, an awkward gait, and endless limitations due to Fairbanks disease, she is thrilled to be dancing - painlessly - through life and on stage again.
As an artist, Kim approaches her craft with an intense, often exuberant, and honest perspective. When not on stage, Kimberley can be found exploring and adventuring the world — whether by foot, water, or imagination!
