meet our founders.

Wendy Holm, founder of Xtreme Theatre, was homeschooling her three children when she noticed a lack of musical theatre opportunities for Christian homeschoolers. She approached Elaine Lindbjerg, co-founder of The Lindbjerg Academy, with the idea of creating a daytime theatre group for homeschooled students. Elaine accepted, and together they launched what was originally called Home’s Cool Theatre. The group was later renamed Xtreme Theatre through a student contest.

Elaine met Wendy Holm while teaching her daughter, Linnea, at The Lindbjerg Academy. When Wendy shared her vision for a Christian Musical Theatre group for homeschoolers, Elaine was intrigued. As a lifelong arts educator and founder of Elaine Lindbjerg's Music Studio, with extensive teaching experience through the Lindbjerg Academy and beyond, Elaine was eager to bring her passion for musical theatre to the homeschool community—and Xtreme Theatre was born (originally called Home’s Cool).
