Kathy Lovering (Director) - Kathy had so much fun last summer with the Teen Actorsingers’ Copacabana
that she just had to come back for more! She has been involved in local community theatre for the past
30 or so years, working with all ages, from toddlers in church pageants to members of the Nashua Senior
Center. Kathy is a life member of the Actorsingers where she has tried just about everything. She has
directed such shows as Guys & Dolls, Brigadoon, The Wiz, & The Producers; has designed sets; stage
managed; produced several shows; and has performed in many. For the past two years, she has directed
the school plays at Nashua HS South. During the day, she is an insurance agent at Foy Insurance in
Nashua and is married to our assistant stage manager Bob (who she met in an Actorsingers production
25 years ago.) Their daughters Emily, an RN, and Madeline, a chef, have also been involved with the
group for many years. Kathy is so very thankful for the help and support received from all of her behindthe-scenes friends who made this show possible. A special thanks to Henry, Tina, Evelynn, Bob, and Bill. I
get by with a LOT of help from my friends!
