Mary Barth began her career with the BHS drama club when she was 6 years old, performing as a clown in a Summer Family Theatre production of Barnum. During her high school years, Barth performed in many BHSDC productions, including: The Wizard of Oz, The Hobbit, My Fair Lady and The Music Man (just to name a few). After BHS, she traveled for a year with Up With People, earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College, received her Actor's Equity card while performing for three years at Disney World in Orlando, FL, and earned her MM in Music Education from Boston University. She will be forever grateful to John Sullivan and to the BHSDC for introducing her to the magic of the theatre. When the opportunity presented itself to step into the role of director, she was excited to be able to give back to the current BHS community! During the day, Mrs. Barth teaches music and directs the chorus here at Barnstable High School and when she's not in the theatre, you can find her having family fun with her husband and their two sons!

Kris has an extensive history with the BHSDC beginning way back in 1983 when as a naive freshman, she began her career as a shrieking head in the Annual Haunted House.

Missing academics and literature, she continued her post-grad work with an MAT and is now in her 21st year of teaching English at BHS. Never wanting to stop choreographing--one of her passions--she choreographed many musicals for Sandwich High School (where she began her career as an educator) including Grease, High School Musical, Bye Bye Birdie, Guys and Dolls, The Wiz, and The Sound of Music. She then started with BHSDC choreographing She Loves Me and Pippin and was back for Shrek, Mary Poppins, and Newsies. Brooke has had so much fun working with the student performers on Mean Girls! She hopes that all of the students in the show know that she is so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm--they are all stars!
