Kelly Dupree Levander is thrilled to rejoin Avalanche, having previously performed in their inaugural production, Frances Makes History, and Time is a Color and the Color is Blue. Her journey with Batshit began two years ago during Bramble Theater’s Festival of Unfinished Works, where she presented a 10-minute segment of the play. She eagerly anticipates contributing to the evolution of this work as it transforms into a compelling full-length production.

Kelly moved to the area because of Chicago’s vibrant new works scene and its dynamic storefront theaters, known for their intimate and experimental productions. In addition to her work with Avalanche, Kelly has collaborated with notable theaters including Bramble, Citadel, Jackalope, Muse of Fire, and Artemisia. Prior to making Chicago her home, she performed in numerous regional theaters across the U.S.

She dedicates this performance experience to her theater producing partner Joseph Zaki, whose enthusiasm for both life and the creative process will be dearly missed.
