Lea Kohl grew up ‘on the lake’ in the beautiful town of Guntersville, Alabama.  Her mother had studied theatre and dance in her family’s home town of New Orleans, and when they relocated to Guntersville, she opened a dance studio so that her children and others could enjoy some of the same opportunities she enjoyed growing up.  It wasn’t long before Lea was hooked.  She studied tap, jazz, and ballet with her mom and sister throughout her childhood, and she quickly became involved with the local community theatre.  Acting, singing, and dancing all came together, and Lea decided to study further at Western Kentucky University where she received a B.F.A. in Performing Arts.

Inspired and excited, Lea relocated to the Big Apple.  She dove in to city life headfirst and loved it.  She has performed original works with Walden Dance Theatre, and has also had the opportunity to perform at such notable venues as New York City Center and The Rainbow Room. 

Lea’s musical theatre credits have led her across North America, and she has gone on to expand her career into all genres of the business, including film, television, and commercials.
