Hey there!

K. Bernice here!

Welcome to my website!

Hi! I’m a musical theater actor and educator based in Newark, NJ. I’ve been performing since I was 7 years old, and I’ve always loved telling stories that bring real, human experiences to life. Whether I’m onstage or in the classroom, I’m passionate about creating authentic worlds and helping others find their voice through performance.

I’m a proud Aurway A.R.T.I.S.T. with Aurway Repertory Theater, a Newark, NJ-based company dedicated to developing and producing original theatrical and musical works, especially those that highlight Black and Brown voices in the greater Essex County area. Aurway is on its way to becoming a nonprofit, and I’m honored to grow with this powerful community of artists.

Most recently, I made my National Tour debut with the NETworks touring Broadway production of Come From Away, where I served as a Standby for the roles of Hannah, Bonnie, Janice, and Beverley. I’m proud to say I made history as the first Black woman to cover and perform the role of Beverley Bass in the show’s run. It was an incredible journey across the U.S. and Canada, and one I’ll never forget.

Before that, I toured New England with TIGER (Theatre Integrating Guidance, Education, and Responsibility), a children's theater based in New Hampshire. During my time there, I wore many hats—not just as a performer, but also as Music Director and Social Media Manager. I also helped build meaningful partnerships with organizations like Choose Love (The Jesse Lewis Foundation) and Miracles from Mimi, using theater as a tool for healing and education.

You can also hear me on a few original cast recordings, including:

  • Heartbreak County (as Jill)

  • Evan Hannah’s Hissing Sounds

  • Choose Love (featured soloist)
    All are streaming wherever you listen to music!

When I’m not traveling or performing, I’m probably curled up with a bag of chips watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, Harry Potter, or cheering on the New York Yankees. I’m also a proud dog mom to Domino, and I spend as much time as I can with my favorite people, my beautiful sons David and Cody Jr.

Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about me. To God be the glory, forever.
