Steve Kinsella has been a driving force in the SF Bay Area film and stage arenas for over 30 years. He began Brentwood Teen Theater 22 years ago and has been lucky enough to have directed hundreds of wonderfully talented young actors in this program. He is also the president of Broadway Repertory Theater and the director of The Kinsella Theater Group, Mr. Kinsella is 1 of 12 musically gifted siblings. He presents workshops nationally and teaches voice and acting privately in Brentwood.
Over the past 22 years, when I am deciding what show to do, it is always a gut-wrenching experience. The purpose of the show must be expanding the training talent of the cast. An Evening on Broadway accomplishes this through solo opportunities as well as some unforgetable ensemble numbers, among some of the best repertoire people can sing from old and new Broadway. I hope you enjoy seeing the show as much as I've enjoyed putting it together with the kids.
Big thank yous to Delia Colorado and Laura Everhart for their time and dedication to the actors and project.

Alessio has been singing and acting since age 5, approaching what he thinks is his 25th production (he has lost count!) as he enters into his teen years. His specialty is comedy and he loves to put his own little comedic twists into the roles he is given. Some of his latest accolades include Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Bert in Mary Poppins, Vlad in Anastasia (his first with Brentwood Teen Theater!), and he is currently working on perfecting Orpheus in an upcoming production of Hadestown the Musical. Alessio would like to thank Mr. Kinsella for taking him under his wing and helping to fine tune his skills this past year! Alessio hopes to follow in the footsteps of his newest mentor and make it to the big screen one day.

Manal Khanna is a curious and artistic 13-year old who enjoys music, plays, musicals, and movies. She is a bit of a perfectionist, and can get displeased when something isn’t up to her standards. Manal has worked with BTT before in the musical Anastasia. A few of her hobbies include crocheting, reading, writing, and playing her 2 instruments, the violin and clarinet. She is proudly a part of Adams Middle School’s choir and wind ensemble, and hopes that her music might take a great and significant turn for her in the future.

She has been blessed with standout roles like Madame De La Grande Bouche (Beauty and the Beast), and the Cruella De Vil (01 Dalmatians), to name a few. She is thrilled to volunteer as stage, lighting, and sound tech for her middle school plays—partly because, as she says, “plays don’t have any singing.” Mollie credits her loving family for all their support, and she also is beyond grateful to her theater friends and mentors at Ghostlight, East County Performing Arts Center, Edna Hill Middle School, Brentwood Community Chorus and now, Brentwood Teen Theater Company, where she is thrilled to be involved in her first production. Mollie looks forward to many more magical moments on stage and is excited for all that 2025 and her future has in store.
