Kelly K Dowling (Director) is a theatre teacher and director at Mercersburg Academy where she also serves as Chair of the Arts Department. She is a devoted fan of Early Modern performance and will receive her MA in Shakespeare and Education from the Shakespeare Institute next year. Kelly began her theatre career as a teenager in touring children's theatre shows and leading summer camps for elementary students. That likely shaped her devotion to exploring the artistry of all aspects of performance - on and backstage, adaptation of historical works, and the idea that theatre should be accessible to all. She also really enjoys puppets.
