K. E. or Kim Harrison (not the vampire book Kim Harrison) has been an arts educator for over 20 years and believes that children participating in the arts is an integral part of all education. She has been married to Mr. Harrison for longer than she can remember and has 4 children (plus many stray children that start as students but end up staying for life). She is grateful for the holidays spent with former students as part of her family and loves every moment spent with them on and off stage. She also has amazing grandchildren who call her “Yaya”.
