Dance with Destiny—Kelsey Fish Plays Cassie in A CHORUS LINE

"It would be nice to be a star, but I'm not. I'm a dancer."

So admits Cassie, the once featured dancer trying to earn her way back on stage...if she can get past her past with the show's director. The Tony Award winning A CHORUS LINE plays at HCT August 28 through September 12.

Making her Hickory Community Theatre debut as Cassie in this production is Kelsey Fish.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from UNC at Charlotte, a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Appalachian State University, and a Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy. She works as a Mental Health Therapist for Best Life Mental Health & Wellness.

"It’s the anthem of dancers as a culture and community," Fish says about A CHORUS LINE. In addition to her appreciation for the play, she is thankful for Hickory Community Theatre's commitment to "giving every person a chance to express and discover themselves."
