Kari is the kind of person every theatre dreams of having on their team...a true spark of joy who is always ready to pitch in. After moving to St. Pete in 2020, she quickly found her creative family at SPCT and has been an integral part of the theatre ever since. By day, Kari keeps things structured and organized as a Program Manager, but by night she dives into the magic of theatre, building imaginative sets, “MacGyver-ing” props from the most unexpected materials, and rallying volunteers to help the cast shine. Her energy, creativity, and can-do spirit help transform every production into an experience that dazzles our audiences and strengthens our community.

Rei is a Miami born and raised actor who has been in the theatre business since they were a teen. They have taken acting courses at UM, Cambridge University UK, and got their degree in Theatre at FIU. They have worked as a professional actor in TV shows and short films as well as many small professional theatre's around Florida.

Away from the theatre they enjoy spending time with their cats at home, going to theme parks, drinking fancy coffee at coffee shops, reading, and, since becoming a new parent, hanging out with their infant.
