Kellie Haines first performed as a ventriloquist at her school talent show at the age of 8. Soon she was performing ventriloquism professionally with a puppet road case and a mobile set that she carted around in the trunk of her father’s car. She studied clowning, music, improv and dance, obtained her Bachelor of Arts and headed out West.

Kellie co-wrote and performed two popular, long running musicals: Frogs in Space – Kamilla’s Quest and Rocket Magrau – Space Bird! at the HR MacMillan Space Centre Planetarium. Her original play A Space To Play opened at the Vancouver Kids’ Fringe to rave reviews and continues to present themes such as biodiversity/diversity, exploration, teamwork and celebrating talents in fun and engaging shows. Her newest show A Birdy Told Me So is touring theatres and schools after premiering at the Vancouver International Puppet Festival HomeGrown Series in 2018.

She performs at festivals, including the Vancouver and Surrey International Children’s Festivals and at theatres and schools across Canada and as a puppeteer/singer for television. Kellie’s dream recently came true when she was cast as a puppeteer on a Jim Henson project for television. Kellie is excited to be invited to represent Canada in the International Ventriloquist Show at Vent Haven Convention 2019 in Kentucky USA.
