NEWS~ During this unusual Spring, Kate has been keeping busy reading, writing, and continuing to learn as much as she possibly can-- about any aspect of the entertainment industry she can, current events, fitness, and guitar. The occasional #puppyandbaby video is welcomed, too, of course.

Kate was the dance captain for director/choreographer Kenney Green
and sang "Turn Back O Man" and "By My Side".
"'Godspell' at the InterLakes Summer Theatre in Meredith, New Hampshire, was a real pleasure. This lively, high-energy show with its non-stop musical numbers, some with actors performing in the aisles, had the audience enthralled from start to finish."
Linwood Street Blog
"Take advantage of what Interlakes Summer Theatre has to offer. Professional actors from New York City on a high school auditorium stage will convert you to be a believer too. You don't need to drive to Boston or fly to New York. Everything is right here in the beautiful Lakes Region. Aren't we lucky?"

Portrayed Joanna in the
New York premiere of 'RENEWAL'.
May 10th-- June 7, 2014
Thursday, Friday, & Saturdays 7:30p.m.
Write Act Rep at The Times Square Arts Center
300 West 43rd Street, 2nd Floor
New York City
"RENEWAL is the story of Joanna, bonafide Broadway star, who leaves the spotlight of the Great White Way for love. On the way into the arms of her betrothed husband to be, she befalls a tragic accident. Over the course of the following year, not only has she been betrayed by friends, but also nearly forgotten by her so-called agent. Will she ever find love as she transforms her renewed outlook on life? This stylized 1950s melodramatic musical throwback will be done in a unique telling. This fully staged workshop production will perform in the heart of Times Square this Spring."
Filmed two Columbia University student films!
"Soul-Shattering Divinity of Lightness", filmed 3/21-23, where Kate plays a young mother concerned for her child's social well-being.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbn3wZO8rOQ
"Real World Syndrome", filmed 3/29-30, where Kate plays the National Board of Mental Health inspector.

A Busy February!
-Five-week Commercial Class with Scott Wojcik of Wojcik/Seay Casting begins
-Orville Station staged reading at The Dramatists Guild, NYC
Kate plays a ruthless film producer who 'may or may not be delusional'...
'The play delves into the dark, festering world that lies beneath the
picture-perfect suburban towns in America where boredom and false
promises of a better life have left some folks feeling "cheated and betrayed,"
to quote Nathanael West from 'The Day of the Locust.'" '
Play by Frank Avella
-Benefit concert in her home state of NJ
-Fun Factory reunites to perform at the TOTY Toy Awards in NYC, Feb. 15
