Kimberlee Easton - DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER
Kimberlee Easton has a BA in Theater Arts Education from Brigham Young University. She has over 15 years experience in teaching theater & directing. This is her 7th year as the Theater Arts teacher at Candeo. She started "Stage-Right-Acting-Company" in 2018 which facilitates summer acting camps! Previously she worked as the Drama Teacher & Director at Glendale High School and at The Willoughby School of Fine Arts in Mentor, Ohio. She has a passion for singing & acting and grew up performing, but has found a deep love for directing... specifically directing youth. She is a 2019 NYA award winner for "Outstanding Direction", and was thrilled with the 2019 NYA cast award for "Outstanding Production". Mrs. Easton sends a HUGE thanks to Sonia Holmes and Heather Updike. She COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS ONE WITHOUT THEM! Kimberlee thanks her supportive family... having her two daughters, Kenzee and Amelia in the show, and sharing this passion with them - has been a dream!

This is Heathers fifth production with Candeo. She’s enjoyed photographing for Rock Around The Block, Peter Panic, Fussun-n-A Feudin, Lady Pirates, and Flapper. She has a love for theater and all things music and dance, so choreographing for Fussin-n-A Feudin, Lady Pirates and Flapper has been an amazing oportuity! She is grateful to Kimberlee for creating such an incredible program for our youth, and instilling a love of theater in each of them!
