KIMBERLY WILL RETURN TO CAT HIGH FOR '08-09
With the success of last year's school program, Kimberly has been invited to return to CAT High to continue and refine the program. With her
focus on this Envision School (www.envisionschools.org), Amber has moved into an even more prominent roll and taken the reigns for our
other school programs! As we continue to grow our educational programs, shows and studio classes have been placed on hold. See our bios
for where you can catch us teaching or performing with other organizations.

School after participating since 1st grade and becoming an assistant director and mentor in her final year as a seasoned 5th grader! Go Allison!

KIMBERLY COMBINES FORCES WITH CITY ARTS & TECH HIGH

program that uses theatre aspects to enhance reading comprehension skills of all 9th graders.

Kimberly has been asked to work with one of the Bay Area's largest and long suffering school systems to develop, create, implement a district
