“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 award-winning interactive game show play that premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025 and has since had critically acclaimed return engagements in NYC and back at the festival with Gilded Balloon. We are currently on hiatus, with plans to tour domestically in 2027. Let me know if you'd like to see us in a city near you!

My work has also been produced by Theaterlab, The Tank, 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!
