Kelsey Theatre Staff

M. Kitty Getlik
Artistic Director and Manager of Kelsey Theatre

It's my job to put together an exciting season each year for Kelsey, seek out good companies and individuals to bring it to life, market it, coordinate it, and greet the folks when they come to see it. Of course there's a lot more to it and I couldn't do it without a lot of help from my friends - my assistant Amy Bessellieu, my coworkers and volunteers. I get a thrill out of live theatre and want to share that thrill with everyone. That is why I strive to produce good shows at a reasonable price here at Kelsey. In my spare time - I teach Introduction to Theater (TA 101) and do theatre. I have also been a director, actress, lighting designer, and the general manager of The Open Air Theatre at Washington Crossing State Park.. In most circles, nowadays though, I am known as "Jessica's mom" - which is as it should be!

Amy Bessellieu
Administrative Specialist II

Presently I work full-time as part of the Kelsey Theatre Staff, however many of you have seen me before. A Tomato Patch and MCCC Alumni, I have been working part-time and volunteering here for over 20 years. When I am not handling the numerous phone calls and paperwork you can find me backstage (creating scenic art, stage managing, making properties and even acting). Recently I just earned my Bachelor Degree in Art through Thomas Edison State College. I also enjoy bowling, bingo, watercolor painting and collecting mouse figurines. Please contact me if you would like to get involved as a volunteer!

 Kate Pinner
Technical Theatre Coordinator

Hello, Kate Pinner here...
. I design sets and costumes at the Kelsey Theatre and I teach Stagecraft, Scenic Art and Play Production - I am chief cook & bottle washer, jack of all trades (except writing or singing - I don't sing!). I do, however, have a husband who writes and a gorgeous daughter who does both! In what little spare time I have - I enjoy visits to art museums, discovering out of the way places, cooking, gardening, researching period clothing and math & logic puzzles.
