Kathy Strain

Kathy Strain grew up outside of Philadelphia and enjoyed listening to many genres of music including Broadway musicals. Music was always present in her home with her parents both being musicians. In a family of eight children, Kathy was the second youngest and most of her siblings were also musically inclined. There was always music playing or being played in the house. Kathy was involved in her middle school and high school choir and drama classes that influenced her continuing enjoyment of music and theater. She moved to San Antonio, Texas in 2001 where she raised three children with her husband Ken. They have a grandson who is four and a granddaughter who is under one. She was a non-traditional student and returned to college when her children were all in school. Kathy holds a degree in Communication/Public Relations from the University of Texas at San Antonio and also works at a local college instructing students in writing. She has enjoyed attending Broadway shows wherever she has lived. Kathy loves to contribute pieces on the arts and enjoys writing about talent and sharing it. She especially loves the opportunities to interview actors, singers, musicians, and dancers who share their passion for the arts. Attending shows and writing reviews is another amazing opportunity too.

WEST SIDE STORY is a classic musical that audiences have been enjoying for many decades. When one hears songs by Leonard Bernstein and Stephan Sondheim such as "Tonight" or "Somewhere," you are immediately drawn into the story of love and hate that exists between two groups of people who have more in common than they would like to admit. The Woodlawn Theatre in San Antonio's latest production of WEST SIDE STORY represented the true spirit of the play as local actors took to the stage in San Antonio's latest production.
