BroadwayWorld Award Winner: Outstanding Performance in a Musical
StageSceneLA’s Breakout Musical Theatre Performer of the Year
Welcome to my website.
I’m Katie and I love my name. It’s not short for Katherine or Kathleen or Katrina, it’s just Katie.
I spend the limited time I have on this planet creating community through my art and also acting a total fool. My biggest dream is to retire in a place where I can paint topless and eat sun-kissed fruit while connecting with nature- until that day is possible, I’ll call New York City “home”. Before I moved here, I felt an inexplicable pit in my stomach that pulled me out of every city I ever lived. The moment I arrived at my little sublet in Manhattan, I felt like myself for the first time ever.
I grew up in a strict, life-sucking religion that forced my queerness back down my throat (probably causing my gluten intolerance). I consider it a miracle that not only was I able to connect with my body enough to start performing at a young age, but I managed to build a career that I’m really proud of- and I said “goodbye” to the closet for good.
My radical self-love and confidence pushes me to strive for a body and skillset that will bring me closer to who I know I am as an artist. If you asked me when I was 12 what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wouldn’t have been able to answer you because I truly had no idea that it was possible to end up here- Surrounded by like-minded lovers of art and justice , creating my own art, being invited to create art for others. CHEF’S. KISS.
I’m a vocalist with strong roots in classical musical theatre, but given the way I was thrust into the cruise ship industry (divorce will do that to ya), I’ve adapted to be able to sing any style that might be put in front of me. And don’t get me wrong, I love and cherish acting, but cruising has helped me find the thrill of being myself on stage that I will forever need turn back to- I think for healing. BUT PLEASE LET ME READ FOR YOUR PLAYS! I CAN ACT! I REALLY CAN!
I invite you to poke around my website to see a little bit of what I do and have done, and then I invite you to get to know me better through an audition or coffee date.
