William J. (Bill) Christie
The Kiwanis Club is proud to bring the extensive theatre talents of Bill Christie to the summer musical production of “Footloose.” Bill is best known in the industry for his 23 years at American Heartland Theatre (AHT) in Kansas City’s Crown Center, where he has stage managed over 100 productions. He has recently expanded his talents into the directing, taking the lead at AHT for the productions of “A Lion in the Winter” and “Unnecessary Farce.” Later this summer he will again direct “Unnecessary Farce” for the Okoboji Summer Theatre at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo.
Prior to coming to AHT, Christie worked as the Director of Volunteer Services at Kansas Medical Center. He has performed in regional theatre at Vassar Playhouse near Topeka, Kan. and took the stage in three productions at the Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City.
Christie completed his undergraduate degree in theatre at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan. He taught high school speech and theatre in Council Grove, Kan., and later received his master’s degree in directing from Emporia State University.
Christie brings an enormous amount of energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and experience to this year’s summer production.
