Ruth Kenote BIO

Passionate about people and their stories, Ruth finds unparalleled joy in understanding and communicating the heart of her characters in an intricate and honest way. She strives to create space to play in the moment, and above all, to simply tell her character's truth.
Favorite performances include singing from the belltower in the premier run of The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Paper Mill Playhouse, Lucy (Beggar Woman) in Sweeney Todd, Nancy in OLIVER!, Marta in Company, Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act, and the fierce Dragon in Shrek: The Musical.

Coming from a family of professional musicians, Ruth has been making music her entire life. A student of both Houghton College and Australia’s Victorian College of the Arts, she holds a degree in Vocal Performance, with a foundation in both classical and contemporary techniques.
In addition to musical theater, Ruth possesses a keen interest in jazz, and - true to her classical roots - art song and opera.
Favorite performances include appearing with the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra as the alto soloist for Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Carmen in Bizet's Carmen, and Marcellina in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro.

Having taught voice for over 10 years, Ruth has an extraordinary passion for teaching and a remarkable ear. She incorporates aspects of a variety of disciplines into her teaching, based upon the unique needs of each student, and integrates specific principles and customized vocal exercises which minimize tension in the voice and body, while building the desired muscle-memory.

Ruth’s knowledge and unique teaching style make her equally adept at working with singers who want a career in music or simply want to sing for pure enjoyment. She is dedicated to helping singers and actors of all levels achieve their goals by de-mystifying the act of singing; from basic technique-building to intricate vocal pedagogic methods. Whatever goals her students have set, big or small, Ruth’s fun, focused, and inspired approach helps them to achieve success.

When she's not onstage, Ruth can be found enjoying one of her many other creative outlets, including baking, painting, playing guitar, pretending to be a professional hair colorist, and Instagramming pictures of her cat. A Seattle-ite at heart, she loves the outdoors and enjoys a good cup of artisan coffee.
