Krystal Lonsdale
Krystal Lonsdale is thrilled to be performing at Monroe Arts Center again! Southern Wisconsin is her current home after living and working as a professional performer and educator in NYC for nearly 15 years. A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC, she has since then been featured on Television (Comedy Central’s Adult Swim), Film (Doubt), and in productions Off-Broadway (A Funny Thing Happened…), in the UK (Gianetta in The Gondoliers), and across the United States.
While in WI, Krystal has performed with jazz and rock bands, Children’s Theater of Madison, Music Theatre of Madison, Capital City Theatre, Overture Center’s Kids in the Rotunda program, and has performed for many fundraisers. She’d like to thank her wonderful family and the audience for supporting live theater!
Luke Smetters
Luke Smetters started entertaining his family the moment he was born and started singing before he even learned to speak. He has sung in choirs throughout his life. While a student at Valparaiso University, he had the privilege of singing in several churches throughout Germany. Over the years, he has sung for both the Chicago and Dubuque Chorales. On one occasion, he even sang in a choir at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London! Luke can regularly be seen on community theatre stages here in Monroe and in Darlington. One of the biggest reasons he loves singing and entertaining is the magic of bringing joy to people’s lives. Luke is proud to call Monroe his home for 6 years now and works at the Green County Family YMCA as the Membership and Community Engagement Director.
