Hello! My name is Katie Kane and I am a NY/NJ-based theatre artist. I graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in theatre studies. I began nurturing my passion for the performing arts at two years old in ballet class and it only grew as I trained in choral singing, a cappella, and musical theatre. When I was seven years old, I was cast in Lerner and Loewe's Camelot and I've had the musical theatre bug ever since. This production of Camelot was also where I started my costuming journey, yes, at seven years old. A year later, everyone in the third grade was forced to be in the school choir, we sang "Rainbow Connection" at the winter concert and I took choir all through grade school and college (except that one year I did orchestra and played violin, but that memory has been suppressed, however the ear training stuck!). I took piano lessons for several years, I wouldn't say I liked it at the time but I'm glad I know how to read music and plunck out a tune if I have to. I joined the co-ed a cappella group in high school which challenged me musically beyond belief. The arrangements were difficult and the frequency I was expected to sing was otherworldly. 

During the pandemic, I was completely deprived of all art. As quarantined life was dying down, I decided that I was 1) going to put on a fully virtual production of Comden and Green's Peter Pan and 2) I was going to start a virtual female cover band/a capplla group. I learned how to edit videos with special effects, how to mix music, and how to never take on a task that big by myself again. That last thing did not stick, we're still working on that. 

Nowadays, I try to fulfill myself creatively in any way I can. Whether writing, directing, producing, performing, songwriting, insert other present participles here, expressing myself creatively gets me up in the morning. Also, my dog physically wakes me up in the morning.

​

Peace x Love,

Katie
