Kathi Baerns (Mother/Witch) has been acting for more decades than she cares to count. Comfortable behind the scenes as well, she also directs, stage manages and has designed, painted and built sets for several productions. She is very excited to again work with the Front Range Theater Company in Hansel and Gretel. She loves sharing her love of theatre, and the opportunity to bring that to children, many of whom may have never been exposed to live performances, she feels is very necessary. Getting them to see something besides a screen and interact with the performers is something she feels every child should be exposed to and is so glad the FRT offers this experience. She is a grandma to seven, a couple of whom seem to be budding actors like Grandma!
