Erin Kennealy is excited to be returning to the Children's Theatre of Western Springs to teach after choreographing Madagascar Jr this summer! She feels there is nothing like teaching the joy of movement and art to people, especially children. Erin taught dance and competitive figure staking for 8 years to all ages, and has been involved in over 70 theatrical productions (onstage, choreography, both of the previous at the same time, crew, lights) all over the south and west side. Some of her favorite onstage roles include: Sally Brown in Cabaret, Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls, Miss Sandra in All Shook Up and Maggie in A Chorus Line. Erin has many interests outside of theatre, which include a BFA in Design, a MD in Historic Preservation and Restoration, writing and illustration children's books and producing fiber and mixed media art and illustrations which can be viewed at www.erinbriart.com
