“who the heck are you?”

Hi! I’m Katy, an NYC-based performance artist making theatrical experiences that defy easy categorization.

But don’t take it from me… Critics have praised my "star power" (Adrian Dimanlig) and "nimble improvisation" (Lamesha Ruddock), but I’ll be the first to admit that Helen Shaw’s "caffeinated" description is the most objectively accurate.

I created and star in (No) Refunds an interactive gameshow play that premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe with Just the Tonic last summer and is returning this August with Gilded Balloon.

My work has also been produced by Theaterlab, Candle House Collective, Brooklyn Comedy Collective, Northwestern University, Shakespeare on the Sound, and the Catherine Lindsey Actors/Playwrights Workshop.

Offstage, I’m a professional voiceover artist represented by Grossman & Jack Talent and a barre teacher at Pure Barre NYC.

Wanna collaborate? Drop me a line!
