Keegan McLaren
Music Leader
Teaching Assistant for Joseph and Teen Dance Camp
Keegan has just returned from an exciting musical theater training experience in Houston, Texas, where he took part in a 5-Day Dance Intensive with the National Youth Theatre. Throughout the week, he grew as a performer and developed new skills in teaching young people the art of musical theater. The camp gave him hands-on experience in choreography, classroom leadership, and creative instruction—all while dancing alongside other passionate young artists. As a Christian, Keegan brings a heart of faith into his teaching, using musical theater as a way to encourage and uplift young performers while modeling Christ-like character, joy, and service. He is excited to bring his energy, knowledge, and inspiration back to Cornerstone Youth Theatre.
Abby Kamphuis
Drama Leader
Teaching Assistant for Joseph and Teen Dance Camp
Abby recently returned from an inspiring week in Houston, Texas, where she participated in the 5-Day Dance Intensive with the National Youth Theatre. During the training, she sharpened her dance technique, explored creative ways to teach musical theater to young performers, and connected with a talented group of peers. The experience helped her grow not only as a dancer but also as a leader and mentor. As a Christian, Abby sees musical theater as a powerful way to reflect God’s creativity and love, and she strives to create a classroom environment where students feel valued, encouraged, and free to express themselves. She is eager to share what she’s learned and bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to Cornerstone Youth Theatre.
Erika Moelhoff, Studio Manager
Miss Erika Moelhoff brings over 12 years of experience working with children, having served with Red Deer Catholic School District. She was also an active parent volunteer, serving as a parent representative for her daughter’s dance groups at Sylvan Performing Arts and Rhythmic Centre in Sylvan Lake, and supporting her son’s Martial Arts Dojo. In 2018, Miss Erika joined Cornerstone as a parent and quickly became deeply involved — volunteering, being chair and asset manager for the Souvenirs Committee, and helping with house operations during performances. Today, she is blessed to serve as Studio Manager, Office Administrator, and Bookkeeper, combining her love for children, faith, and Musical Theatre Arts. She considers it a privilege to witness students grow — in their talents, confidence, and especially in their love for Jesus — through the experience of Musical Theatre Arts. Miss Erika believes Cornerstone is a wonderful place for students and newcomers alike to grow — as performers, as people, and in their faith. She is deeply grateful to be part of this community and thankful every day for the opportunity to do what she loves.
