In a world where Halloween creatures are feared and misunderstood, Nelson, Frankenstein’s Monster, yearns to be seen for who he truly is—a human soul trapped in a monstrous form. He joins forces with Zombies, Pumpkins, the 3 blind mice,Dracula, and even Doctor Emmet Brown, all of whom share his desire to be recognized beyond the cultural beliefs and traditions, allowing Halloween to become a celebration of understanding and acceptance.

About the Director

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, and she now serves as one of the Board of Directors for McKinney Repertory Theater.

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.  She is  excited for another show this year and looks forward to having our community come support the local performing arts.
