Mrs. Kellerman finds so much joy in watching the kids learn and grow into their parts. She has loved working on Beauty and the Beast Jr., especially with such a fun and talented group of students and staff. When she’s not busy with musicals and her voice studio, Mrs. Kellerman spends time at home with her amazing and supportive husband as well as two kids who are both HBMS alums. (In two weeks, she’ll be able to say that they are both also Central Alums!) If you ever need a buddy to see a musical with, she’s your girl, but she also loves to watch scifi, read, and hang out on her porch drinking coffee and enjoying the sunshine.
