Kim is once again thrilled to be working with this creative crew here at The Staten Island Playhouse! Kim has been such a big part of the Spotlight family since 2019. Not only has she been a featured performer in several Spotlight Repertory Theatre Company productions such as School of Rock, Songs of the Season, and Fierce Females but she can also be found as a part of the creative team working with our talented youth! Kim spends a lot of her Spotlight time assisting directing alongside Jacques “Soupy” with all of the youth theatre productions and she absolutely loves every minute of it. This past summer it was an honor for her to direct; choreograph her very first Spotlight summer show “101 Dalmatians”. For the past 8 years, she has loved being a Music Together teacher working for Mary at “Staten Island Family Music” as well as a couple of preschools on the island where she gets to teach music and theatre to little ones. A proud graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC, Kim has performed in many productions over the years. Some of her favorite roles in different community theatre shows have been Audrey in “Little Shop of Horrors”, The Narrator in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”, Ellen in “Miss. Saigon” (A Paris Arté Documentary), Rosemary in “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying” and Cleo in “I Love My Wife”. You can currently see her and her hubby Joe rocking out in the tri-state area playing many bars, weddings and private parties with their cover band since 2008 called “ATOMIC KRUSH & ACOUSTIC KRUSH”. Kim’s favorite role in life is being mommy to their son Jagger who is not only an awesome hockey player at the age of 9, but he also rocks the piano and loves to perform with Spotlight whenever he has the chance. She would like to Thank Mary and Soupy for being such amazingly, talented humans and for creating
