Hi! I'm Kristen rea.
I’m a dancing french hornist turned musical theater composer/lyricist & leadership coach.
I help characters find their voice, on stage and off.
MUSICALS
I'm a musical theatre composer and lyricist. My style ranges from quirky all-ages humor designed to bring lightness and honesty to important themes, to more serious, socially-important works with a soaring orchestral sound and a touch of comedy.
PLAYs
In addition to musicals, I write plays in a range of styles including collaborative plays for teens.
articles
Outside of the theatre world, I write articles that keep an eye on leadership, social justice, and the arts.
