New SA Team Members

Team SA has expanded over the last few months and we’re thrilled to be bringing on board our new Producer Kate McStraw who is working with us specifically on the Kinder Tour and SYT Residencies. We’re also welcoming back Erin Caitlin Karn as our Marketing Support. Erin did a Creative Admin and Marketing Internship with us during the Three R&D and she was fabulous, so we offered her a job! The very lovely Tea Poldervaart is joining us as performer/puppeteer on the road with Kinder and this Summer, the fabulous Louise Dobing has joined our outdoor casts for both Arbor and Buzz.

Watch out for snaps of them on our socials and welcome to the TEAM!
