Caitlin Johnson, born and raised in central Massachusetts, has been a theatre lover and maker for most of her life. She began her journey into theatre as a young student and followed the path which led her to a love of teaching. She holds a strong belief that theatre has the power to make someone a more empathetic and understanding person.

 

Caitlin is a knowledgeable theatre artist, passionate about education, directing, and technical design. She has vast experience working with a variety of after-school programs throughout Massachusetts. She has worked as a head counselor at a summer theatre program for 6 years, teaching students ranging from 9-18 years old. Over the past 2 years, Caitlin has worked in the after-school drama program at Brimmer and May in both the Middle and Upper Schools. She has worked as a hair and makeup artist, costume design assistant, and recently assistant directed their production of Matilda Jr.

 

Caitlin greatly admires the tight-knit community at Brimmer and has grown to love the welcoming environment it offers. She is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to teach at Brimmer and get to share her passion for the arts. She has always loved reading and writing and is enthusiastic about co-teaching 6th-grade English this fall with Carl Vallely. She believes that learning never stops, and is excited to grow alongside her future students.

Madison Perkins received her BFA from Lesley University in 2021 and has since worked in Advertising and Independent Film. Some of the projects she’s most proud of are The Google Pixel 6 Digital Video Campaign and the films she’s worked on as an Assistant or Producer including Life After You (2020), A Stage of Twilight (2022), and Crybaby Bridge (2024). 

Having spent over a decade in the world of performing arts, Madison has worked closely with students as a Dance and Drama Teacher at camps and after-school programs. It’s her experience working with students in a creative and collaborative capacity that drove her to Brimmer and May. Working as a Producer and Media Manager in independent film is how Madison discovered her love for marketing and communications, especially across digital and social media channels. She’s passionate about telling stories that inspire others and aims to infuse her love of storytelling into the school’s marketing landscape.

She plans on returning to school for her Master’s Degree to continue her education in Marketing. In her free time, Madison loves to read, write, watch movies, and when the weather is nice, spend time on the lake.
