Kelle Martin

Director | Teacher | Producer | Actor

Kelle Martin is a talented theater professional with a passion for inspiring young performers and creating meaningful theatrical experiences. With a background in performance, direction, and technical theater, Kelle brings  a lively and enthusiastic approach to every project.

She graduated from Davis & Elkins College with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Performance and K–12 Education, where she studied acting, directing, and all aspects of technical theater, from makeup and costume design to lighting and set construction. Kelle participated in twenty-three college shows and finished a theatrical makeup internship during her time in school. In high school, she also directed a show and participated in four others, gaining early directing experience.

Kelle’s journey into directing began unexpectedly. She was first hesitant about the part, but while directing Charlotte’s Web at Madonna, she found her calling. “It was me and the kids, and this place clicked,” she recalls. “From then on, I wanted to do it every year.” The students' enthusiasm and joy made the experience extremely fulfilling and inspired her to stay dedicated to the profession.

Now entering her fourth year at Madonna, Kelle teaches Creative Arts, Art & Drama, Music, Technical Theater, and Art I & II. Her work mixes creativity with education, creating the next generation of artists both on and off stage.

This year’s production, set for Mother’s Day weekend, presents an exciting challenge. "It's a more mature play," she explains,“and I’m most excited about celebrating women through this show. It’s a story that really resonates with moms and ladies, and I can’t wait to share it.”
