Illeana “Illy” Kirven is thrilled to return home to Sierra Repertory Theatre. She was last seen at SRT as Mrs. Peacock in Clue in 2023. Following an incredible three-month engagement in Seoul, South Korea, she joined the international tour of Chicago as Matron “Mama” Morton, a role she performed for nearly four seasons.
A native Texan, Illy has spent many years performing across the country. Favorite credits include Deloris Van Cartier/Sister Mary Clarence in Sister Act; Oda Mae Brown in Ghost; Caroline in Caroline, or Change; the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella; Nell and Armelia in Ain’t Misbehavin’; BJ and Brenda in Smokey Joe’s Café; and the Narrator in multiple productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Illy gives thanks to God, her beloved angel Moma Mildred, and her family and friends for their many years of unwavering love and support. She also thanks Scott Viets and Jerry Lee for continuing the wonderful legacy of Sierra Repertory Theatre. Blessings to all, and happy holidays!
Fairy tales get turned upside down in Sierra Rep’s spectacular production of Shrek The Musical! From tap-dancing rats to a fire-breathing dragon, this larger-than-life musical will have you laughing, singing, and falling in love with your favorite ogre all over again.
Sierra Rep did it with a hilarious comedy in the Fallon House. Based on the Hasbro game and the iconic Paramount movie, six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects.
