Audrey was born and raised in Chico, CA, where she discovered her love of all things dramatic early on. (The doll baby Audrey is singing to was “Starla”— and she was pivotal in this discovery.) With the help of her incredibly supportive family and friends, she pursued this passion throughout high school, and soon college at CSU Fullerton, ultimately earning her BFA in Musical Theatre: one of her proudest moments.

Some of her most inspiring roles include Jo March in Little Women, Louisa in The Fantasticks, “By My Side” Ensemble Member in Godspell, and Adele Rice in A Man of No Importance. It’s roles like these that remind her why she does what she does. They are people that change her from the inside out, and have a message to share of their own.

(Board President, Company Principal as Marketing Director) Kimberly started her marketing career in the arts, first working at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa before its opening season in 1986, and later serving as Director for a summer music festival in San Diego County. When the arts hit hard times economically in the late 1980s, Kimberly migrated her marketing skills to Silicon Valley, eventually founding a technology marketing firm which she and her three partners grew to 90-person consultancy. She sold her stake in that business and, after a few left turns, ended up back in arts marketing.
