Kayla Konkle or more lovingly known as "Momma K" is proud to be the director and head of the theatre department here at BNI for the last five years. Kayla attended Ball State University for Theatre Education and Acting where she had the opportunity to direct a number of productions at Muncie Civic Theatre and Northside Middle School. Coming off her student teaching at Warsaw Highschool and into BNI, she's loved every minute of growing the department. When not directing or teaching, Kayla loves all things spooky and scary, she is a crochet addict and plays copious amounts of D&D. Who could ask for a better show to direct that combines her passion of horror and theatre?

To even working with brand new teachers, in the same old spaces from his youth. As student teacher, his goals are not only to learn the rope from Mrs. K. But to gain the new experience from a different perspective. 'Rather than acting in shows, let's create new shows for the next generation.'

As far as thank yous go, Adriana has her close friends from all over to thank, her parents for their endless support, the BNI Theatre Department, and every teacher that has been there for her then and now.
