PRODUCTION TEAM SPOTLIGHT

And now, the women who made this show possible: the brilliant team of KaiLee and Brittany! Catch their work tonight at 7:30 pm. ;)

KaiLee Evans (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary performing artist, and uses the synthesis of theater to examine her relationship to self, systems, and history. She is delighted to make her (co) directoral debut at Fleeing Artists, especially telling a q***r love story! Her noteable acting credits include Andromache (Trojan Women; UW Milwaukee PSOA, 2019) and Ella (Hidden Figures; First Stage Children's Theater, 2022). Intimacy Direction credits include S*x, Love, and the IRS (Sunset Playhouse, 2023) and Much Ado About Nothing (Milwaukee Repatory Theater, 2023). Kailee thanks her partner and beloved for their support! "

Brittany Boeche-Vossler is making her (co) directing debut and is equal parts thrilled and terrified about it. Working mainly as a performer in the past, some of her favorite roles include Joan in SEXUAL PERVERSITY IN CHICAGO at The Alchemist Theater, Toby Belch in TWELFTH NIGHT with Bard and Bourbon, and a guest artist as Adam in UW-Parkside's THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE. A 2014 graduate of UW-Parkside (BA in theatre), Brittany is currently pursuing a second bachelor's degree, this time in information systems and technology, through UW-Milwaukee. After 5 wonderful years working in programming at First Stage, she has recently made a career switch, working as a Program Coordinator at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She is incredibly thankful for such a patient, thoughtful, and talented cast. Infinite thanks to Aric, her family, Rebecca, and Hazel.

Stop Kiss continues its second and final weekend tomorrow!

PRODUCTION TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Introducing the person who keeps everyone in line and on time — Hannah Kubiak!

Hannah Kubiak works primarily as an actor in classical plays, so Stage Managing a modern show is new territory for her. Her acting credits include Stephano/Alonso/Ariel (Five-Person Tempest, Voices Found Rep), Salerio (Merchant of Venice, Mad Rogues), Salome (Salome, Village Playhouse), Lennox (Macbeth, VFR), and Ophelia (Hamlet, VFR). By day, Hannah works as a theater educator for students aged 6-18, and an assistant workshop facilitator for Feast of Crispian.
