Summer Fun Staff 2010
Kelly & Tom
Founders & Executive Producers
Tom and Kelly have been friends since the Summer of 1991 when they met on a choir trip to Russia. Two summers later, they established the first Summer Fun! Performing Arts Camp on the Seattle Pacific University campus. The camp started as part of a children's music demonstration group for teachers working towards their Kodaly Music certification. Quickly, Summer Fun! took on a life of its own, adding dance and art to the original mix of music and drama. This is SF's 17th consecutive season. Wow! Time goes fast when you're having so much fun!
This summer, Kelly will running the day-to-day operations while Tom will be working behind the scenes assisting with lighting and set design at Ballard Theatre.
