Meet The Staff

Executive Director

Jen became an avid fan of WTC when she moved to the Flathead Valley in 1993, loving the variety and quality of both the theatre productions and the music performances. She is now thrilled to be part of the community that keeps the arts alive in Whitefish by serving as the WTC Development Director from 2013-2019 and the Executive Director from

2020 to the present. In her past life, Jen worked as a botanist for Glacier National Park from 1993-2019, using her degrees in Environmental Science from Wesleyan University and Plant Ecology from Duke University. She will continue to find time to smell the flowers but is delighted to put her science brain to use in the world of the arts! Jen is especially thankful for her husband Richard and sons Gabe and Sam who let her pursue all her passions.

Artistic Director 

Kim’s first show was Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs in 4th grade where she portrayed a tree in the evil forest. She has been doing theatre ever since. She graduated with a BFA in Theatre from the University of Idaho and has worked in various theatres in California, Ohio, Idaho and Montana. In 2001, she returned to Missoula, Montana and began working for the Missoula Children’s Theatre as the Tour Director/Manager of their International Tour Department. She directed and performed for their Community Theatre and also was a co-founder, co-producer and director for the independent theatre Every October Productions. In 2009, Kim moved to the Flathead Valley, working as a Drama Director for Kalispell and Evergreen Middle Schools and started doing various shows with WTC. She most recently performed in Suite Surrender and has directed a plethora of shows including Into The Woods, Elf The Musical, The Revolutionists, Sweeney Todd, and Evelyn In Purgatory.

Technical Director

Robbie grew up in a small town in Vermont where there was no such thing as theatre. He then moved to Montreal where he studied theatre production and design for 3 years before entering the real world working as a call technician and lighting designer in Montreal and becoming the Technical Director for the Hudson Village Theatre, a small theatre just off the island of Montreal. All this mostly prepared him for moving to Montana, where the mountains are very large and theatre is going strong.

Production/Costume Designer 

Sarah loves storytelling in many forms. She stumbled upon theatre while still in college and found her niche telling stories through costumes. She graduated from the University of Montana in 2011 with a BFA in Costume Design & Technology, followed by a costume construction apprenticeship at BalletMet in Columbus, OH. Since then, her handiwork as both a costume technician and as a designer has been seen on the stages of Fort Peck Summer Theatre, Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre, Bigfork Summer Playhouse, and in the 2019 tour of the Missoula-based Dirty Sexy Chocolate Show. Sarah permanently joined the WTC staff in 2018, designing and creating costumes for all mainstage shows including her favorites Mamma Mia!, Alice In Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, Urinetown, Into The Woods, Elf The Musical, The Revolutionists, Sense and Sensibility, Sweeney Todd, Murder On The Orient Express, and Suite Surrender.

Marketing and Operations Director 

Originally from Denver, Mikey has been performing since he was 10 years old and has been a raging theatre nerd ever since. He moved to the Flathead Valley in 2012 and discovered the Whitefish Theatre Company where he regularly performs. Favorite shows to date include The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)(Revised), Seminar, Into The Woods, Elf The Musical, Sweeney Todd, and Evelyn In Purgatory. Mikey has also performed with Fort Peck Summer Theatre, Alpine Theatre Project, FVCC,  and is one of the founding members and head writer of the Whitefish Cabaret. He served on the WTC Board of Directors for three years where he learned the ins and outs that happen off stage to make a community theatre successful. He is so humbled and excited to be in a position where he can share his deep love of the theatre arts with this wonderful community.

Production and Facility Supervisor

 Matt has been involved in theatre from an early age. After attending a performing arts vocational high school in New Jersey, he earned a BFA in Acting at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA in 2009. He found his way to Whitefish in July 2018 and quickly discovered WTC where he was cast in Over The River and Through The Woods in 2019. Since then, Matt has graced the WTC stage in a number of shows including I Hate Hamlet, Radiant Vermin, The Siegel, Waverly Gallery, Seminar, Sense and Sensibility, and Suite Surrender. While Matt spends his free time snowboarding, golfing and hiking, he is thrilled to be joining the WTC staff as the lead set builder and production supervisor.
