    About the Directors

    Kelly Baxter

    Meet Kelly Baxter! After having such a wonderful experience as a Kidz Krew parent, she went on to deepen her passion for theater. She has been involved in different cast and crew roles in the McKinney area for the last five years.

    With a degree in education and over ten years of teaching experience, she currently enjoys teaching workshops and theater-related classes to kids.

    Ms. Kelly was excited to bring Kidz Krew back along with CAC Director Sandy Barber (previous Kidz Krew Mom & Director) in the summer of 2024 with “The Magnificent Seven” production and then again in the fall with “To Be Frank(enstein).  She is  excited for more shows in 2025 and looks forward to having our community come support the local performing arts.
