Kenzie's first experience with The Edge was watching her daughter Anna in Wait Until Dark. In her first performance with the Edge, she played Melissa in "Love Letters." Next, she was thrilled to share the stage with her son, Fletcher, as Tansy in "The Nerd." Kenzie also played several characters in The Edge's production of "Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama." As a student at Keene State College, she had the honor of playing Nora in Ibsen's "A Doll's House." She has loved all things theater since high school. When she is not on stage, you can find her training for her next 5k or looking after her three amazing children.
