Kimberlee Garris is a brand consultant, creative director, and producer of theatre and dance. She has produced several podcasts for the Broadway Podcast Network, including Breaking Broadway with Kerry Butler and Singular Sensation, based on the New York Times best-selling book Singular Sensation: The Triumph of Broadway.
Prior to working with Broadway Podcast Network, Kimberlee spent over a decade as Director of Entertainment for the National Basketball Association’s Brooklyn Nets. In this role, she directed and produced hundreds of dance performances and events at Barclays Center and created entertainment content for the NBA in fourteen countries around the world. She rebranded Nets’ entertainment for the Brooklyn market and created the team’s in-game entertainment assets, including the Brooklynettes and Brooklyn Nets Kids dance teams.
During her time with the Nets, Kimberlee directed the NBA’s first hip hop dance team composed entirely of dancers over age sixty – the Netsational Seniors. Their journey to center court stardom was captured in the documentary film Gotta Dance, directed and produced by Dori Berinstein, and their story was the inspiration behind the musical Half Time, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell.
Kimberlee made her Broadway producing debut as a co-producer of the Tony-nominated and Drama Desk Award-winning Broadway musical The Prom, directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw.
