Juniper Village at Brookline

 PRODUCTION TEAM 

  • Caitlin (Cat) Rokavec

    (Director/Producer) Cat is the Performing Arts Coordinator for Juniper Village at Brookline. She graduated from Penn State with a BFA in Acting in 2019. She has 10 years of theatre experience both locally and abroad and is thrilled to be directing this show. Cat would like to thank MTI and Katie Kensinger for pioneering this fantastic program and for entrusting her with this show. She is immensely proud of the resident actors for their hard work and for proving that “anything can happen if you let it.”

  • Eric M. Brinser

    (Music Director) Eric was bitten by the theatre bug while performing in his high school production of ‘Hello, Dolly!’.  Since then he has been a director, music director, producer, writer, lighting designer, scenic designer and piano player for various school and community theatre productions.  By day, he is the Director of Choirs and Theatre at Bellefonte Area High School and Director of Choirs at Bellefonte Area Middle School.  He is honored to be a part of this production and so pleased to help these performers shine!

  • Katie Kensinger

    (Producer) In 2018, Katie produced and co-directed Juniper’s first Broadway Senior production, Guys and Dolls, at Juniper Village at Brookline. The success of that production propelled Juniper to pilot additional shows in partnership with MTI, including Singin' in the Rain, a Kander & Ebb revue, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. Katie has mentored Juniper communities in Lebanon, PA and Paramus, NJ in the Broadway Senior program. In 2019 she collaborated with the College of Communication Sciences & Disorders at Penn State to study the impact of Broadway Senior on quality of life. She also has presented at the International Council on Active Aging on the benefits of musical theatre in care communities. Big thanks to Cat, Eric, Mary Lee, C'Jay, Andrew, Sally, Denise, Rose, Amy, Sue, Liz, the leadership team, and each cast member for proving that "Anything can happen if you let it!" Infinite thanks to Freddie for the vision and to Lynne for boldly saying, "Yes!"
