Erin Kinney
Fairy Godmother & Executive Director
I have been sewing since I was 12 and became a professional seamstress at 20. My work has sold internationally and worn in competition, but nothing brings me as much joy as sewing for my princess family. I became a princess because of how it made me feel fulfilled, happy, and self-confident. I became a Fairy Godmother because I want to empower others to feel the same.

"I play the flute, and I chose to learn that instrument because when I was little, I believed it was the instrument that princesses played! I love getting to bring magic to the days of children and the young at heart! I know what meeting princesses would have meant to me when I was little and that’s what I want to bring to the world now!

I love performing because I get to put a little magic back into the world, and the lives of others. With the state the world is in today, I like to "pay it forward" any way that I can. I also work for a circus (fire performer, aerialist, human statue).

Character Actor
I have been performing as long as I can remember, and I’ve been Disney obsessed for even longer! When I’m not working as a Special Education teacher, you can find me cuddling on the couch with my cat, Freddie Meowcury, training for my next half marathon, or on stage performing. My favorite part of performing is seeing the magic light up a child’s eyes, and for the next few minutes, nothing else matters.

I have played violin most of my life- I still enjoy fiddling at the Omaha Farmers Market most summer weekends! My favorite part of performing is bringing the magic to a party, especially to a child who's never met a princess before!

Throughout my time in college, I have become very invested in writing poetry, and I even published two of my poems! Sometimes I think writing takes up more of my time than school or work! My favorite part of performing is doing all of the research about the character in order to bring them to life as accurately as possible!

Hi there! I currently attend UNO for theatre and music. I am a dance teacher at Bellevue Dance Academy, where I get to teach the best kids! I love animals, and I have a silly cat named Allo. I love singing, performing, dancing, reading, and working out. I became a performer because I love bringing other people joy through theatre and princess-ing. My favorite part of performing is the moment a kid’s face lights up when they see their favorite princess in front of them. I hope to make something in theatre and performing my career.

I recently graduated from Creighton University for Musical Theatre and minor in Business Administration! In my spare time I will probably either be listening to Taylor Swift or watching New Girl at home. I have been performing since middle school and princess performing since high school. I love being a special memory for a kid to have! Meeting a princess is a truly magical thing and it's been so fun to help create that magic.

I enjoy any and all opportunities to wear themed outfits, including; holidays, dance parties, comic-con, or special event work days. I was heavily involved in theatre during high school, that’s where I developed my love for performing/ working behind the scenes. I love watching all the hard work come together and bringing people joy. I still feed that love of the arts with musicals and broadway shows that come to Omaha.
