On Saturday, July 25th, Kenedi is performing selections from her two most recent shows at Vanguard Theater Company’s Montclair Theatre Festival in Montclair, NJ. She will be performing “Get Out and Stay Out” from 9 to 5 with interACT Theatre Productions, as well as “Predator” from Jagged Little Pill with Playhouse 22. The event runs from 2-8pm and will be a full-day of theatrical performances and events!

Kenedi most recently starred as Bella Fox in Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill musical at Playhouse 22. The show ran from June 12-28th. Bella was a dream role for Kenedi, and she is so grateful to be a part of such an incredible production.

Six years later, Kenedi is reprising her role as Judy Bernly. 9 to 5 was her covid production that rehearsed up to opening night but never saw an audience… you will not want to miss this show with a star-studded cast and creative team! Performances are in Maplewood, NJ at the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts from April 17th through May 2nd.

Kenedi founded Artful Voices Theatre Company LLC as the Executive Director.

She is incredibly excited for this new artistic adventure!

“…the terrific Kenedi Chriske (imagine a young Mary Testa) played the role of Trina…in Falsettos. On her first appearance, she offered a powerful rendition of “Breaking Down” (William Finn), Trina’s show-off solo. She later returned… to tear the room apart with Stephen Sondheim’s “Losing My Mind.”
