Kendall is thrilled to continue leading Our Lady Theatre Department this year! She is a 2015 Providence grad who fell in love with theatre during her first show in 7th grade. Throughout High School, she performed in many shows and went on to study theatre in college. Her love for introducing theatre to youth has only grown over the years, and she is super excited to be in this role. Kendall would like to thank her partner, Corey, for his unwavering support!

Erin is familiar with the OLPH theatre family as she co-directed and choreographed the pilot show for their program, Matilda Jr.! She comes to us fresh off the heels of her previous co-ownership of Southern Indiana Elements of Art LLC theatre company where she co-directed, co-produced, and assisted with choreography in Little Shop of Horrors, SIX, and Mean Girls Jr. to name a few!! Erin is an alumni of New Albany Theatre Arts and has a true love for the arts. She has a passion for watching these young artists develop their confidence and find their voice through the journey of theatre! In her spare time you might find her watching a Halloween movie, hunting for seashells at the beach, or hanging with her fur babies!! Her daughter is off to college very soon, so she’ll be spending a lot more time with her husband, Max, of 20 years! We are so happy to have her back as part of the team and can’t wait to see what she brings to the table!
