Karen Nave

Lauren Neuwirth, MFA

Karen's daytime whereabouts are unknown.  Her night-time whereabouts are also unknown - she moved to the woods in 2020 to hermit.  Her theater experience is less of a secret, having started backstage as a sound technician, for the next 45 years Karen would go on to produce, direct, and manage several shows throughout southeast Michigan.  Some of her favorite shows produced/directed include All Shook Up!, The Last Five Years, Grease, 13! (underrated!), Into the Woods, and Steel Magnolias.  She holds a bachelor's degree in Political Science/ Philosophy from Kalamazoo College and is currently pursuing the meaning of life.  Karen also loves Lego, Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys, and a sense of mortality.
