Artistic Statement
Katie’s plays are built as prayers or questions, theatrical events that invite audiences into moments of the unknown and so-like traveling to a new land-build experiential empathy. Filled with games, physical exertion, and a poetic delight in the mundane, these plays are an unflinching examination of characters just the outskirts of the everyday. They are artists, criminals, addicts, survivors, people--just like us--struggling to make their own way.
