Jane Coult, Senior Board Member & Choreographer

Jane’s first venture on the stage was in a dance recital at three years old, sparking a life-long love of dance and the performing arts. Her dance studies included ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and ballroom at area schools for over 30 years, including 20 years at the Glen Rock Dance Shoppe in Ewing Township, New Jersey. She has taught ballet and tap for many years at local dance schools.

Her first venture into theater was as a dancer and chorus member for the Trenton Civic Opera Company’s production of Fiddler on the Roof. She returned to theater many years later as dancing chorus at the Open Air Theatre at Washington Crossing State Park (Anything Goes, Sound of Music) and Kelsey Theatre (42nd Street). She soon moved on to choreographing, including The Mystery of Edwin Drood and The Music Man at Kelsey and The Sound of Music, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (co-directed and choreographed), Oliver, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Annie Get Your Gun at OAT. She has also choreographed Company in Northeast Philadelphia.

When Eastwind Airlines was at Mercer County Airport, she understudied the mascot character, the Eastwind Bee, for the airline (and went on several times!).

Jane teaches a tap class at Kelsey Theatre’s Tomato Patch each summer, a theater camp for 5th through 12th graders. She also teaches an adult tap class at Kelsey. Jane has choreographed several productions for MP OnStage, including You're a Good Man Charlie Brown; Lucky Stiff; It's a Wonderful Life; The Emperor's New Clothes; Singin' in the Rain; and A Winnie the Pooh Birthday Tail. She has been a member of the Board of Directors for Maurer Productions OnStage since 2006 and serves as the company's resident choreographer.
