KIM WEITKAMP
Kim Weitkamp shares stories and songs that disarm, delight and stick with you long after the lights go up. With a sharp eye for human behavior, dead on comedic timing she turns every day encounters into award winning performances that leave you wondering how she managed to sneak a life lesson into a story about airport pretzels.
Kim is an artist mentor for the Ohio Arts Council, winner of 9 Storytelling World Awards, and has performed in 46 states to over half a million people. She was named one of Columbus Ohio's Top 20 Coaches by Influence Digest - coaching and mentoring artists from throughout around the country.

A storyteller, theatre director, singer-songwriter, and Shakespearean actor, Andy was Artist-in-Residence at Emory University’s Oxford College from 1991 to 2007. He has performed at LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in New York, The Library of Congress, Walt Disney World, and a whole mess of theatres, colleges, and festivals all over the United States
