Kathryn Van Meter from Seattle directs the rock musical “Next to Normal” at City Circle Acting Company, Feb. 10-12.
Kathryn is just a little familiar with this play. The playwright, Brian Yorkey, is a good friend of Kathryn’s and she was involved in some early readings of the script, and actually choreographed the first full production, which caught the eye of the producer who brought it to Broadway. So she brings a very interesting background to her first shot at directing the show.

Chris Okiishi, from the City Circle board joins in as well. In addition to assisting with this show, he is directing the Coe College production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which opens Feb. 3. Info on that show at http://www.coe.edu/academics/theatrearts/theatre_productions.
