After eleven incredible seasons growing as Associate Artist and Literary Manager at FST, I’m excited to step into the role of Associate Producer. These years have deepened my commitment to new work and collaborative theatre-making, and I look forward to bringing that energy and experience to this next chapter.
With a diverse array of talents and roles, she has enjoyed being a part of the Sarasota artistic community since 1990, entertaining audiences in multiple venues and performances and now enjoys her artistic home as she has been directing for the FST winter cabaret since 2015.
As a Line Producer for FST’s Summer Cabaret Series, Catherine is responsible for bringing National cabaret groups to FST’s Court and Goldstein Cabarets. Throughout the past seasons, Catherine has fostered the Summer Series subscription. FST audiences continue to grow with the popularity of the summer cabaret series.
In her previous role as Literary Manager, she curated a rich tapestry of new and exciting works that meet Florida Studio Theatre’s mission to produce theatre that challenges with as much gusto as it entertains. Her dedication to nurturing emerging playwrights and amplifying their voices is evident in the vibrant and diverse selection of plays she has championed.
Catherine started out as a musical theatre performer and comedy cabaret artist where her performances have been recognized throughout the Sarasota area including the 1996 opening year of the Goldstein Cabaret on the FST campus. Her voice has been heard in voiceovers and commercials, further showcasing her versatility and range.
Additionally, Catherine serves as secretary for the National New Play Network's Executive Committee and has been on the Board of Directors since 2023. Leading collaborations between theaters across the state of Florida and beyond, she has shared her passion for the future of theatre, championing emerging and established voices through the many programs sponsored by the Network.
A proud member of the Actors' Equity Union since 2000, you can occasionally catch Catherine on stage at Florida Studio Theatre in New Play Festivals, or guest appearances.

  • This play tugged at my heartstrings. A uniquely woven ensemble piece that takes place during a tormented era when our world is in strict border surveillance – in this instance a border between Vermont and Quebec. Kareem draws extremely likable characters to make individual choices that are best for their specific instances which in turn can cause unanticipated grief for one another. Alliances are built and broken, borders are straddled, and family connections persist and prevail.
