Meet Our Performers!
Kaitlyn Bertrand
Kaitlyn was singing before she could talk, dancing before she could walk, and acting since she can remember. Nothing makes Kaitlyn happier than performing for all to see. Kaitlyn has lived in Colorado for nearly her whole life and considers herself a native. Kaitlyn is currently perusing a BFA in music theatre and a minor in secondary education. Her biggest dreams are to perform as a Disney lookalike at a Disney park, to perform in musicals, and and to own more pets than necessary (especially cats).

When she isn’t performing, Heather spends her time working in the analytical role of Project Controls Specialist, managing contracts and budgets, and, according to her colleagues, being an all-around Excel Wizard.
