For many, The Kist is so much more than a show – it is an opportunity.
Following on from the success of Highland Heartbeat on television on PBS across America, the BBC in the UK and live stage concerts. Fiona Kennedy is further developing young talent in ‘The Kist’, a vibrant new production.
She leads a cast of truly outstanding young artists, giving them the exposure and the experience that they need to develop their talent, their confidence, and their ambition. One of our singers, 11 year old Ruairidh McDonald, will be recording a Christmas album as a result of his involvement with the show, while several of our other stars have gone on to achieve success in the West End – Ross Davidson is now performing in We Will Rock You, and Frances McCann features in a new hit musical, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Our production team is comprised of only the most respected writers, directors, and designers. Every member of the team has a wealth of valuable experience gained from years of working on successful productions, and all believe strongly in the The Kist as a powerful and original stage production.
