Corinne Kite-Dean

(She/her) This will be Corinne's first full run with People's Light, though she first reared her neon head during a few performances of A Christmas Carol in December 2023. She has a passion for theater, coming up first as a performer, then playing in her first orchestra pits as a percussionist in high school. If she’s not playing in a musical somewhere, you can usually find her playing a show with one of her numerous original bands around Philly. She has also performed and recorded with some of the best young jazz and improvisational musicians in the Philadelphia area over the years, which solidified her place in the scene as a guitarist who brings to the table equal parts honed knowledge, technical ability and a lust for modernity and innovation. She has two cats named Huxley and Orwell, and in her free time she likes to lay on a hammock with an IPA or play especially frustrating video games.
