Take 3 Christian Theater

Kathy, the wife of Brian and mother of seven, has homeschooled their children of which now are four college graduates, two college students, and one homeschooled teen.  Kathy taught high school math and computer science in the public schools for seven years before retiring to be a stay-at-home mom. Besides being involved in theater, Kathy is a Sunday school teacher and huge sports enthusiast of homeschool teams.  As the producer and administrator for Take 3 Christian Theater, she is thrilled and humbled to have had the opportunity to work with such great cast members and their servant parents.  Through teaching at the Pillar, Kathy is also thankful to be able to be “give back” to The Pillar Foundation and their wonderful volunteer teachers who had sacrificially taught her own children since 2003.
