As a director and choreographer of large-scale musicals, Anna's work is defined by playfulness, human connection, and movement-driven storytelling. With years of experience as a theatre and dance educator, she brings clarity, flexibility, and warmth to every rehearsal room. Recent projects include Footloose at Arkansas Repertory Theatre, Holiday Inn at Western Carolina University, A Christmas Story: The Musical at Argenta Contemporary Theatre, and A Charlie Brown Christmas at Flat Rock Playhouse.

"FOOTLOOSE was phenomenal. The 26-member cast, young and the young at heart, made choreographer Rachel Perlman and director Anna Kimmell look almost as good as they did in production numbers that consistently brought down the house."

Arkansas Democrat Gazette

"Directed with tremendous spirit by Anna Kimmell and buoyed by an infectious cast of teen performers, this A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS does its part in wiping away the gloom of a pandemic that has kept live audiences away from The Rep. The smile this induces will linger for a while."

Arkansas Democrat Gazette

"The entire cast is strong and clearly well-rehearsed. These kids act, they sing and dance, their comic timing is startlingly sharp. It’s a chain with no weak links. Plaudits to director/choreographer Anna Kimmell for a job expertly done."
