Meet the Business Owner

Dave and Kelley B.

Business Owner

Theatre director, Kelley Brandt

Kelley Brandt is proud to have taught theatre to so many amazing students over the years. Many performers who were once among the youngest in her productions have remained with RockShow Academy through their senior year. Some of these talented kids have graduated to lead roles in productions at theme parks, on cruise ships, in college productions — and many have won acting & music scholarships. Kelley has performed in commercials, industrials, stage productions and has been a professional cheerleader.

Music director, Dave Brandt

Dave Brandt has had years of experience working as both a musical director of broadway-​style productions and as a coach of student rock bands. He is a working musician who has performed at events and festivals in and around St. Louis and proudly at the KMOV 2011 World Series pre-​game rally at Joe Buck’s restaurant — both as a solo act and with bands such as The Diamond Dave Trio, The Sultans of Swing, and many others.
