Ohio native Kim Schroeder Long is a veteran of various regional theatre circuits and proud member of Actors’ Equity whose resume spans classic and contemporary dramas and comedies, musicals and operettas, immersive theatre, touring educational theatre, and several national and world premieres.

As a leading lady, she’s garnered critical and popular acclaim for numerous portrayals of icons real and fictional, from Blanche DuBois to Bette Davis to Judy Garland, who she’s played in the drama End of the Rainbow, brought to life in her hit cabaret act WWJD (What Would Judy Do)? and frequently inhabits at public and private local events, to Rosemary Clooney, who she’s played in multiple productions of the stage biography Tenderly, The Rosemary Clooney Musical, and paid tribute to in an award-winning original cabaret, Rosemary for Remembrance. Most recently, she earned rave reviews for what many have called a tour-de-force performance in The BENT’s much-lauded production of the Lisa Kron tragicomedy, In the Wake.

Though she emphatically identifies as an actor who sings, she has become a local favorite vocalist of many colors and genres, regularly entertaining audiences in cabaret, nightclub, and casino venues in the Coachella Valley. In addition to her home base in Palm Desert, California, she also has a base in Portland, Oregon.
