When Kimmi Neuschulz was growing up in her home in Chatham, New Jersey, she would dance around the living room and put on puppet shows for her parents. The actress, singer and dancer would eventually get her B.F.A from Ithaca College where she focused much of her education on Children’s theater. She says she definitely looked into the history of Fred Rogers and his highly successful Mister Rogers Neighborhood television show.
