Biography

Maureen co-founded our own Excalibur Players in 2014 after joining CKP in 2012.   She takes great pride in directing and choreographing the troupes’ shows year after year.  Maureen has a very passionate and energetic style of teaching, and knows that many of her students learn in different ways.  She takes a very individualized approach with each young actor.  

Maureen’s experience includes four years, lead singer for Holland America Cruise Line, 12 years performing and teaching in New York,  and Singing Program Director for kids at Applause New York.  Maureen built her own voice lesson business and has been privately coaching students for the past 16 years.  CKP is proud to have Maureen on staff!

What our community is saying about us…

Everyone has a chance to shine

My daughter will be doing her third full length musical with CKP this spring and has done 2 summer camps with them as well. She absolutely loves this program and it’s been great to watch her grow and shine on stage. What I appreciate the most is that she has learned that every part is important, supporting or lead, and it’s not about the solos or number of lines that a part has that makes the show. Instead, it is about everyone working together to make the show come together and that everyone has a chance to shine. The staff and teachers are wonderful and do get to know the kids individually. (Also the convenience of having it as an after-school program at her school can’t be beat!)
