Wendy Hoskins

Production Assistant

Wendy Hoskins has been working with Kids On Stage since the spring of 2005. As our (Indispensable!) Rehearsal Assistant, she is creative, contributes to the fun, kindly maintains order, attends to hurts and keeps Doug on track. She loves working with children and is a perfect addition to the Kids On Stage philosophy that "the most important thing to do on stage is have fun!" In her spare time, Wendy is a third grade teacher in Berrien Springs, a Girl Scout leader, and helps with coaching. It seems that children are her life and working with them gives her great enjoyment. She loves to see the joy on their faces as they reach the goals they have been working to achieve. Since her nieces and daughter started performing with Doug, Wendy has seen the growth this program has brought the children in her family and other children. She truly believes that her contribution to Kids On Stage is a great way to help children build their self-esteem and to be more outgoing. Kids On Stage is fortunate to have Wendy on staff.
