South County School of Performing Arts is excited to welcome Kelly Robertson as the new Artistic Director for our theatre program! Kelly will be leading our theatre productions as well as helping to grow our program throughout the area. With over a decade of experience as a professional actress, a theater producer, and an educator to folks of all ages and abilities around New England, Kelly strives to bring more joy, confidence, and technique to young South County stars. Kelly has 20 years of dance instruction and holds a BA in Theater from Dean College, trained at NYC’s Atlantic Acting School, and holds a certificate from CADA in Applied Drama for Autism. Kelly was the founding Theater Program Director at The Croft School, where she uplifted students in creating memorable performances - both large musicals, and student written works. Kelly directed theater camps at The Gamm Theater and worked for years as the performance teacher at Generations Adult Day Health Center and as Studio Playground’s Artistic Associate where she fostered community connections through clown education. Other teaching credits include: Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, Boys and Girls Club, Boston Children Museum, and Camp RYSE. Kelly also has years of teaching in elementary and middle school classroom settings at The Croft School. Kelly’s philosophy is based in physical theatrical clown and the idea that actors are brave gifts that make the world a better place with their generosity!
