What is Kaitlyn up to?
This summer, Kaitlyn has been performing the role of
Kim MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie at the Historic Crighton Theatre in Conroe, Texas!​​
"Olson is bright and appealing as Kim MacAfee, the All-American teenager chosen for Conrad’s farewell kiss. Kim can sometimes be reduced to a squealing fan, but Olson gives her more dimension. She lets Kim be young, excited and dramatic without turning her into a joke. Her singing and dancing are strong, and she understands the golden age style of the show."
