Since moving to Carmel in 2016, Brynn has performed as an ATI cast member in production such as A Comedy of Tenors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and the exciting reading of Lindsay Adams’ new play, Rattler. She says she looks forward to stepping back into her role as teacher and administrator for this new endeavor.
Prior to moving to Indiana, Brynn served as Acting Department Chair for the Rochester Association for the Performing Arts, where she taught several acting classes, including Fundamentals, Characterization, The Art of Comedy, Script Analysis, and Movement for the Stage. Additionally, she taught acting and coached musical theater privately as the founder of BKT Studio for Actors. She also directed and choreographed several productions for high schools, colleges, community theaters, and semi-professional theaters in the Rochester, N.Y. area.
“We are thrilled to have Brynn join us to lead our education efforts,” said ATI Co-founder Don Farrell. “While we love to perform and produce shows that entertain so many, it is just as important to instill that love into the hearts and minds of our younger generation.”
As an actor, Brynn has worked nationally with ArtsPower and NETworks productions, regionally with Geva Theater Centre and Playhouse on Park, and semi-professionally with Blackfriars Theater and JCC Centerstage.
Actors Theatre of Indiana enriches the culture of the community and uses theatre as a tool for educational engagement.

Another new intensive is called SOAR: Professional Training Program, a unique, hands-on experience for students ages 13 to 18. The program is designed to give young performing artists the chance to broaden, deepen, and develop their talents through master classes and individual training with Broadway and Regional Professionals.
