5/29 Radio Theatre: Kate Horvath of the Duluth Playhouse Children's Theater

Kate Horvath is planning a busy summer. 

She finally found time to act in a show herself (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, opening June 4 at the Duluth Playhouse) but she'll be spending most of her time teaching.  "Acting camps" run for a week, and students from 5 to 14 have a chance to take their star turn in a play.

But for the kids Kate terms "hardcore," there are the "theater intensives": a month's worth of planning, designing, building, casting, costuming - and eventually - putting on a show.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
