Kyra Lynn Kozlenko
In a nutshell....
Hello there! I’m Kyra (they call me KEEER-ruh, like in Xanadu!). I am a former NYC based actor/singer who recently relocated back to my beloved hometown in the California, Bay Area. I am a member of the Actors Equity Association; a NYU (Tisch/CAP 21) graduate; a classically trained singer: a lover of nature, books, and lighthouses; a Lord of the Rings enthusiast; a doodler and freelance illustrator; and a Simulation Specialist at Mursion. With my “sparkling" soprano” and my petite frame, I hope to prove that good things come in small packages!😜 Thank you so much for visiting my website!

Kyra will be performing the role of Snookie Updegraff in 42nd Street Moon's 110 IN THE SHADE April 24th--May 12th, 2019 at San Francisco’s Gateway Theatre, 215 Jackson St., San Francisco, CA 94111
by 42nd Street Moon:
San Francisco’s 42nd Street Moon's next production, the 8-Time Tony Award-nominated musical 110 IN THE SHADE.
"Based N. Richard Nash’s acclaimed 1954 play THE RAINMAKER (the basis for the 1956 film starring Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn), 110 IN THE SHADE features music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones (THE FANTASTICKS), and a book by Nash adapted from his own play.
"At turns introspective, romantic, and joyously hopeful, 110 IN THE SHADE is a poignant look at romance in a drought-stricken Depression-era town. Sharp-witted but insecure, rancher’s daughter Lizzie is resolving herself to live out life as a spinster until charming stranger Starbuck comes to town with the promise to make it rain, encouraging Lizzie to dream beyond her own view of herself.
"Meanwhile, the town Sheriff must deal with the con man as well as coming to terms with his own past. This beautiful show boasts a score by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (best known for the longest-running musical in history, THE FANTASTICKS)."
