This Spring, Kiera Lynn is returning to Panther Players at United Township High School to help them stage their upcoming production of Anything Goes as their choreographer. This is the third consecutive year that she has worked with this drama department, and she loves watching her students grow and develope their theatre skills. Many of whom are learning to tap dance for the very first time! Come join us on the boat this April and see all of their hard work pay off.
Kiera Lynn is ecstatic to be choreographing her first show at the Black Box Theatre, and even more ecstatic to be working on the other side of the table for the first time with her dear friend, Bradley Robert Jensen. Kiera was not at all expecting this unique and achingly beautiful show to fall in her lap, but couldn't be more honored to play a small role in this production.
To add to the excitement of this year, Kiera will be donning her director hat at Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse once again! After the smashing success of her Circa directorial debut, Junie B. Jones - Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, she's going back to school once more. This time she's joining Mr. Ratburn's class with everyone's favorite aardvark. Come make a musical with us this summer!
Kiera Lynn is a part time Acting and Musical Theatre instructor at Davenport Junior Theatre, where she has been now for over three years. She loves continuing to learn more about the history of America's second oldest children's theatre company and the women who founded it. As a staff member she has written plays, choreographed dances, and helped design tech elements to make her students' experience a special and well rounded one. Here's to another year of encouraging students to have brave and bold fun!

Jane Eyre

"I was most moved by Lynn – who reveals an uncanny, preternatural calm and poise as the poignant, sensitive heroine. Lynn (like Jane) possesses a more humble, even, less showy and entirely captivating singing voice and personality – still glorious in its radiant beauty. She and Cooper share a wonderful duet in the second act, “In the Light of the Virgin Morning” that complement each other and fit together like perfect puzzle pieces. Lynn also has what every actor should aspire to – affecting and absorbing reacting, in being able to communicate greatly by facial expressions alone. She does that first in watching and telling of her young self (played by Em Foster) at the beginning, and most touchingly, in her second act acceptance of Rochester’s marriage proposal. Lynn’s looks of bliss and yearning are transcendent." - Jonathan Turner (ourquadcities.com)

"A major award for this show's cast should also go to Kiera Lynn, who showcases boundless, electrifying enthusiasm as the teacher Miss Shields. She takes over-the-top joy in grading the kids' essays about what they want for Christmas - and both "Ralphie to the Rescue" in Act I and "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out" in Act II are phenomenal, energetic highlights featuring the ensemble. Lynn is especially wonderful in the big tap number "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out", which includes kids and is simply jubilant and ecstatic." - Jonathan Turner (ourquadcities.com)
