TODD
HART
Executive Producer
Todd has been involved in theater for more than 35 years. He
began as a member of the ensemble of "Annie Get Your Gun" at San
Jose Children's Musical Theater in San Jose, California at the age of 9 -
he's been hooked ever since. He has worked all over the country and
the world as an actor, singer, dancer, production manager, stage manager,
director, choreographer, music director and much more. Audiences in
the Metroplex have seen him on stage at Dallas Theater Center, Dallas
Children's Theater, Dallas Reparatory Theatre, WaterTower Theatre, Casa
Mañana, StageWest, Lyric Stage, Circle Theatre, Kids Who Care and, of
course, Theatre Arlington. As an administrator he has run education
and outreach programs for WaterTower Theatre, Casa Mañana and Theatre
Arlington. Todd has been with Theatre Arlington in some sort of
capacity for more than 12 years. He has been the executive producer
for just over a year after returning from a two year hiatus as associate
producer for Casa Mañana. He is very proud of Theatre Arlington's
accomplishments over the past 37 years. He looks forward to, with
the help of Theatre Arlington's terrific staff, board and guild, making
Theatre Arlington the best theater it can be for the future.

bachelor of fine arts in theatre performance. She has worked at numerous theatres in the
Metroplex, both onstage and behind the scenes, including Hip Pocket Theatre, Dallas Children’s Theatre, and Dallas Theatre Center. In addition to

box office manager and marketing manager. She feels very blessed to be a part of such an amazingly talented staff.
KIM
LAWSON
Director of Development & Special Events
Kim Lawson is what one might call a “Queen of all trades.” She grew up in Arlington and still calls it home and loves everything that this wonderful city has to offer. Kim works full time for Theatre Arlington as the
Director of Development and is also in charge of all special
events, but her real full time job as the proud mother of four talented children extends outside the walls of TA. It is no secret that she has shared her love for the arts with her
children as they are all incredible performers in their own right. In addition to working full time, acting part time and keeping track of her children, Kim has several other hobbies and interests. She was involved in Theatre Ministry in some form or fashion...whether as an actor, writer or director...for 20 years at different churches; served on the PTA for several schools, including the role of President; has directed many school talent shows; and in her “spare time” enjoys interior design and decorating, throwing parties and spending time with her friends. She is thankful for her
amazing kids who bring so much joy to her life and make all of her crazy days and long hours survivable.
