Katharine has been learning and performing with Theatre Adventure beginning in 2006. Prior to Theatre Adventure her first theater experience was performing as “the Doctor” in a Mummers play (traditional street theater) when she was eight years old.
Her favorite Theatre Adventure shows so far have been 2012’s Stagestruck and 2019’s Raising Our Voices Together. She especially loved playing The Wicked Witch in 2007 because it reminded her of her mom who always was the Wicked Witch in the annual women’s Mummers play.
Another favorite role was playing Celine Dion in 2014’s Flights of Fancy because it is her dream to go to Hollywood and meet Celine someday as well as see her perform.
Katharine’s favorite things about Theatre Adventure are seeing her friends, connecting with them and working on projects together, and having great memories of Ashley, Liz, and Toonie who were dear friends in theater class but have all passed away.
Katharine was one of the first Mentors in our Mentor Program in 2006. She is a strong performer with amazing self-confidence and stage presence.
When Katharine is not busy with theater she takes part in Special Olympic sports (basketball and swimming), enjoys reading, playing the piano at church, and performing on the piano at the River Garden.
She began playing the piano when she was eight and is extremely accomplished. Katharine has also been a dedicated part time employee at Market 32 since 2006.
