Kaitlyn Thomas
About Me
Kaitlyn Thomas is a dancer, actress, singer, and performer based in New York City. As she grew up in Richmond, Kentucky she found a love and passion for dancing and theatre. Kaitlyn has been dancing for 14 years and graduated from The Institute for American Musical Theatre in New York City in 2021.
Right after graduating she booked her first professional job where she made her national tour debut.
Outside of her training some of Kaitlyn's favorite things to do are spend some quality time at the gym, teach dance and acrobatics to young dancers, sip on some some sweet tea, play with her two corgis, and spend quality time with her husband.
"Find joy in the journey."

On September 23, 2023 Kaitlyn and Spencer Brock vowed to be together forever! It was the most perfect day in Lancaster, KY and they celebrated with their closest family and friends. Check out the link to watch their amazing wedding captured on film by Kyle Conder. Picture by Samantha Moran.

On 12/30/22, right after Kaitlyn got off contract for A Charlie Brown Christmas 2022 tour, her boy finally popped the question! Kaitlyn and her fiancé will be getting married in September of 2023 in their hometown in KY. She is so so excited to be future Mrs. Kaitlyn Brock!
Kaitlyn is beyond excited to be touring with Charlie Brown Christmas again returning in the role of female swing (Snoopy, Frieda, Violet, Patty) and dance captain. She s so grateful to Gershwin Productions and the Charlie Brown team for bringing her back on to this fun loving Christmas show!
