About Me
Cate is a teacher, actor, and director. She continues to direct and to study the craft of acting and loves sharing her passion for the work with new and developing artists.
Cate believes in the power of lifelong learning. She loves the balance of teaching and research, theory and practice-that life as a teaching artist provides.
With special interests in directing, text analysis, and using the physical and psychological to create character, Cate is excited to continue pursuing her passion for theatre through both artistry and pedagogy.
