Director
Kimberly Siepmann
Kimberly feels so blessed to have the privilege of working with the amazing company that is the Nativity Players Theater Ministry. She is also the Director of the Nativity Youth Ministry One Acts (for middle and high school students) and the Nativity School Theater Club, as well as the middle school Shakespeare Theater instructor at St Michael Catholic School. When not leading rehearsals for one group or another, she can be found volunteering in a variety of ways at Nativity. She is so grateful for all she has learned from her fellow directors – Cindi, Roz, Grace, & Sarah – and sends a special thank you to all who gave so much of their time, passion, and creativity to make this show possible. Fr. Bob, thank you for the blessings you’ve brought to my life by placing me here. Tom, you are my happiness – I can’t do this without you. Father God, thank you for the gifts and talents you have given us all!

Assistant Director
Cindi Rogers
Cindi grew up acting and directing in Shakespeare productions. She would like to note that she did not grow up with Shakespeare, but rather much later. She taught public speaking at NOVA, University of Delaware and CCCC. She can be seen around town as Master of Ceremonies - frequently on short notice. She is often handed the microphone with the words “here no one else wanted to do this.” Her favorite musical production was a 15 minute Oliver Spectaculathon performed by her 3 kids. She promises her husband and dog that she will see them again as soon as the production is over. She plans on taking up yodeling in the fall.

Roz is thrilled to be back in musical theater after a long hiatus. After graduating from Marshall University with a degree in music education, she taught music at a WV junior high school. Roz was the Music Director for a high school production of The Apple Tree. She performed at SWVCC’s production of Oklahoma (Laurie) & Guys and Dolls (Sister Sarah). Roz spent a summer in Lewisburg, West Virginia performing at the Greenbrier Valley Theater in Where’s Charlie, Oklahoma, and Fiddle Dee-Dee. She returned to NOVA and has sung at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Mount Vernon Place UMC. Roz currently teaches music at Saint Michael Catholic School and sings for the Northern Virginia Chorale. “I’m truly blessed and thankful for the opportunity to work with this talented group. It’s been a blast!!”

Choreographer
Grace Matson
Grace has been dancing for fifteen years and choreographing ballets in her room for almost that long. After dancing in Nativity's The Wizard of Oz in 2019, she is excited to be returning this summer in a new role. She is currently studying ballet, modern, and choreography for her dance major at Belhaven University, along with a major in English and a minor in Theatre. At Belhaven, she performed in Pride & Prejudice (Charlotte Lucas), The Wizard of Oz (dance ensemble), and the Dance Ministry Ensemble, and has worked backstage as a stage manager and a props designer, among other things. While she has loved all of these roles, backstage and onstage, choreography is her biggest passion, and it has been an incredible experience to work on a musical for the first time. Happiness is creating a show with such an awesome cast and crew, and she hopes you feel that happiness as you watch!

Set Design & Construction
Jorge Hurtado
Jorge is a long time Nativity parishioner, a Knights of Columbus member, and a Theater Ministry parent with a knack for building things. He is a supporter of fundraisers and various projects around Nativity Church and School. Annually he looks forward to supporting Fr. Bob's Golf Tournament. Set building for the Nativity Players might be his favorite contribution. Call it a labor of love with a couple of rewards - a special one is supporting his daughter Ava's passion for musical theater. He is happy to donate his talents and time to Nativity. Thank you, Fr. Bob, for the Christ-like leadership in our Community along with the commitment and generosity to further Theater Ministry's work at Nativity.
