Meet Kate Milner. Kate plays the Witch in Silver Spotlight Theatre’s production of Into The Woods.
“From a magical first glimpse of Annie at the O’Keefe Centre at age eight, I was hooked on the thrill of live theatre. Gifted the cast album for Christmas, I memorized every line, and filled the house with show-stopping belting—sorry, Mom and Dad!
After spending high school staying off the stage as a stage manager, I stepped onto the stage for the first time at Queen’s University in Camelot, and the rest is history. I have had the opportunity to share the stages at Scarborough Musical Theatre, London Community Players, and more, while also sharing my passion behind the scenes as a director, music director, and vocal coach.
A couple of years ago, Art Fidler and Rick Smith shared their exciting vision for Silver Spotlight Theatre – a theatre company just for those over fifty-five. I was instantly on board! After a little wait, the stars aligned when auditions for Into the Woods fell on my fifty-fifth birthday. What better way to celebrate than diving into one of my favorite shows with a fantastic group of like-minded, creative souls? I couldn’t resist the opportunity!
To anyone considering the enchanting world of community theatre, I say: Jump in! Be bold! Embrace the unknown and let the magic sweep you away!”
