Hi there, I’m Katherine, but you can call me Kate!

My pronouns are she/her, and I am a Minnesota based actor and director.

I am a senior graduating from the University of Minnesota - Duluth this December with degrees in biochemistry, chemistry, acting and musical theatre. Quite the combo I know!

I am a multi-hyphenate artist who finds joy in acting, science, movement, Shakespeare, and all the new things I learn daily. 

My favorite place to be has always been a lab. I love a procedure. A structure to push against and ask questions about. My work is focused on the process; I love the discovery, the unknowing, and the collaboration! 

At the core of my work is courage and curiosity. Fear is a natural human emotion that pops up in all the work we do; playing a character we’ve never played before, asking a question that we don’t know the answer to, getting ourselves out of bed in the morning when it feels like the world around us is falling to pieces.

We turn to courage, and we strive to keep asking questions. If a science experiment doesn’t give us the results we expect, we ask ourselves why and maybe shift a new variable. The same is true in a rehearsal room. We fail forward. We keep asking questions and we move through the fear. 

It can be easy to feel like we are screaming into a void with everything that is happening in the world. Sometimes it can feel like we are being told to be silent. To stop creating. That none of it matters. But the act of creating is rebellious and courageous. So, to be silent, or not to be? That is the question.
