Collingdale native Sandi Kinnear’s Summer Stage history began in 1978 when she played clarinet in the pit orchestra for Of Thee I Sing when she was 13. Her reedsmanship also included playing the alto and baritone saxophones for many early eighties musicals and Sentimental Journeys. Sandi toured the country as Sandi Joy, a popular Christian comedienne. She now resides in Chester County and is active in productions with SALT Performing Arts. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .
