The Board of Directors supports the work of Broadway On The Side and provides mission-based leadership and strategic governance. While day-to-day operations are led by BOTS' Executive Director and the Production Team, the Board-Production Team relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Board is both critical and expected.

Megan Worthen Nelson

Megan feels privileged to serve as the President and Executive Director for Broadway On The Side, Inc. She moved to Utah from the Seattle area in 2016 and has been constantly involved in the performing arts for over 35 years as an executive, artistic, production, or music director; choreographer; choir, drama, piano, and voice teacher; stage manager; and performer. Megan has her Bachelor of Arts in Music Dance Theatre (BYU, Utah) and is pleased to have studied and worked with so many incredible teachers, professors, and professionals across the country.

Max brings his Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance (Utah State University), Masters of Music in Vocal Performance (Portland State University), and Doctorate of Musical Arts in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance (University of Miami) to BOTS. While currently teaching choir and musical theater at DaVinci Academy of Science and the Arts, Max continues to be active in the performing arts community through various side projects - including starting the vocal group Basic Pitches, being a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, and participating on stage in various musical roles.

"I love the genre of cabaret and love to see people step into roles they normally would not have the chance to play."

Kelli Morris

Kelli has worked in the performing arts for over 20 years both on and off stage. Having earned her Bachelor of Arts in Music Education with a Choral Emphasis from Utah State University, Kelli went on to teach choir and theater to grades K-12, worked as a vocal coach, and music directed over 25 musicals. As a result, she is well respected in the Northern Utah music and theater communities and continues to contribute as often as she can.
