NYC-based Playwright

Hello hello hello!
I'm Katherine, and I'm a playwright based in New York City.
​
I was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, where I spent my childhood crafting robust imaginary communities for my Webkinz toys and writing torrid romantic plays to captivate my elementary school crush (to no avail). ​​I graduated from Pace University in 2023 with Bachelor's Degrees in Acting and English with a concentration in Creative Writing; through my time in undergrad I gained the tools with which to devise theatre and work collaboratively while carving out my own identity as playwright. I self-produced readings of multiple original works throughout my time at Pace, including my Honors thesis production of A Brand, A Lifestyle.
​
As an artist, I gravitate towards uneasiness. Works that feel unresolved. Satires where everyone learns their lesson except for the characters onstage. Conflicts where everyone is a little right and a little wrong and the dissonance is palpable. ​As a person, I love being in connection with others. I was a member of the most recent cohort of Under Construction Playwrights Group (The Road Theatre Company). I spend my days coaching [solidcore] and volunteering at Girls on the Run in Brooklyn.
My newest play Appetite is coming to The Makers' Space in late February! An eclectic gaggle of social media influencers congregate in the woods for an elusive and exclusive retreat where they compete for early access to upcoming trends. This year? They’re being asked to market the newest product in health and wellness: human meat. The team's ridiculous attempts to glamorize cannibalism offer a glimpse into the unsavory world of influencing. When do your career aspirations eclipse your personal values? Who do you become when you commodify your personality and your lived experience? And do we taste better grilled or air-fried?
