Hello all!
I'm new to this community, and I'd like to introduce myself:
I am Kim Johnson, a graduate of Mansfield University. I've earned degrees in Music Education, Vocal Pedagogy, and Vocal Performance, which combine to create the perfect coaching environment for the vocal health of students of all ages.
After my college career, I opened a musical theatre company for the youth of Northeastern Pennsylvania, under the name of The Limelight Players, where I was owner, director, and musical director. This successful company allowed students ages 5 - adult to shine and thrive in a non-judgmental, safe environment as a family.
Some of the amazing full-length musicals I've directed are:
The Secret Garden | Children's Letters to God | Titanic - The Musical | 13 - The Musical |
High School Musical | Evil Dead - The Musical | Into the Woods | Side Show | A Little Princess | Once Upon a Mattress
Additionally, I've been very active in the NEPA community theatre scene as both a performer and a musical director. As a performer, her favorite main stage roles have been:
The Witch in "Into the Woods | Ralphie's Mother in "A Christmas Story" - The Musical |
Laurie in "Oklahoma!"
As a musical director for The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre, The Grove, The Music Box, and Meyers High School, my show credits include:
Little Shop of Horrors | Urinetown | Les Miserables | 9 to 5 | Into the Woods | It's a Wonderful Life | West Side Story | Seussical the Musical | James and the Giant Peach | Fiddler on the Roof | Grease | The Rocky Horror Picture Show | A Christmas Story | and many more.
Currently, I coach a large voice studio and a budding piano studio in Kingston, PA.
I'm looking forward to sharing and swapping new ideas about music of all genres with you all. Check back in from time to time for performances as well!
All the Best,
Kim
