You may have seen him recently in THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, but he decided to take a step back from acting to direct this beast of a show. He is now a published author and is looking to venture into many other avenues!

Asst. Stage Manager
Kara KaskelAfter a long stretch of performing in ASOB shows (PRINCE OF EGYPT, SWEENEY TODD, MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD, PIPPIN), Kara has taken on a different role in this production of SHE KILLS MONSTERS. The hand-painted backdrop of the show is the largest scale painting she’s ever completed, and the costume design of the show challenged her to a whole new layer of character work. She hopes you immerse yourself in this fantastical, yet incredibly raw and human world. She would like to thank the entire cast and production crew for trusting her throughout this process!
