A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Justus was born and raised in Prescott, Arizona and has been involved in professional theatre across the Southwest for over 20 years. He currently acts as the Artistic Programs Manager for the Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival, and manager of the Beaver Street Theatre. His directing credits include Julius Caesar (2024) and King Lear (2025), both with FlagShakes. Other theatre companies that Justus has worked with, either as an artist or administrator, include Southwest Shakespeare Company, Utah Shakespeare Festival, and his hometown’s own Laark Productions. Justus holds a bachelor’s degree in theatre performance from Northern Arizona University. He owes much of the joy in his life to his wife, Bree, who is a career journalist and the current host of Morning Edition at KNAU public radio. Together they are the proud parents of 2 rescue dogs (Jill and Sonora) and a cat (Indigo). In his spare time, Justus enjoys hiking,
powerlifting, horror movies, and frequenting Flagstaff’s many excellent coffee shops and microbreweries.

Kelsey is delighted to return to the place where her stage management career began in Flagstaff for this production of A Christmas Carol. You may have seen her backstage (or occasionally onstage!) with FlagShakes under the summer rep tent, as a puppeteer in a few Theatrikos musicals, or commandeering the microphone at a karaoke night or local drag show. You may even recognize her voice as an Audio Description narrator on select Netflix and Discovery channel programs! Thank you so much for supporting real human art.
