Kathleen  Dunbar  grew up in Eastport and can barely remember a time when she wasn't involved in theater productions in the area, from Children's Theater to Stage East to Shead's Mixed Nuts and The Magnificent Liars. She performed on stage in such Stage East productions as Sea & Town, Teddy & Alice, Once Upon A Mattress, Quilters, and as the Ghost of Christmas Past in both productions of A Christmas Carol. She has also assisted back stage with many other shows.  After some time away for college, Kathleen has returned home and is working as a dental hygienist for Eastport Health Care. She is looking forward to being involved with the Board of Directors and also to return to the stage again.
