A NATIVE OMAHAN...

Kathy Tyree has been performing for 30 plus years and has been given the title of “Omaha’s Own Queen of Soul”.

She has been afforded the opportunity to work with some of the best performers, directors, choirs, choreographers and tech crews that Omaha has to offer. She has won several awards and has experienced a career of glowing reviews of each of her performances.

Kathy believes that it is her life purpose to share her gift with as many people as possible and does not take lightly the opportunities being afforded to her as the owner and operator of Kathy Tyree Productions. It is her goal to pour into as many lives as possible by continuing to perform and produce live stage performances as well as developing a non-profit organization designed to work with promising visual and performing artist ages 13 years and up. It is her hope that her efforts will better prepare young artists to be disciplined, artistically competitive and confident as they take the steps necessary to launch their careers in the performing arts industry on any and all levels.

Kathy’s mission in life is to ensure that anyone who encounters her,
always leaves better than they came….
