Acting 

As an actor, I am drawn to stories that center women in complex and challenging ways. I have been lucky enough to portray many characters that occupy a fascinating moral grey area, such as Jack Merridew in Lord of the Flies, Sofia in Dance Nation, and Julie in Vape Lord at the Samuel French OOB Festival. I feel most at home with works of dark comedy- Claire Barron, Annie Baker, and Jenn Silverman are playwrights whose texts I always jump at the chance to work with. I also have a passion for reimagining classic works of theater- the works of Anton Chekhov and William Shakespeare are touchstones for me in my work as an actor.

Little Katie

I wanted to take a moment to focus on my true passion project, what I believe to be the best representation of me as an artist- my solo show, Little Katie. Little Katie is a theatre piece? It’s a stand-up comedy piece? It’s performance art? It’s fun! It’s a children’s show-style exploration of what it means to have a feeling featuring my mini-me, my little monster, the titular Little Katie. It was performed for the first time as a workshop in the spring of 2024 at Emerson College with Mercutio Troupe. The show went on to complete a three night run at The Tank, produced by Harlot and directed by Alex Oleksy. The development of this piece has been the most rewarding experience of my career so far and I cannot wait to see where it goes next. I’d love to show Little Katie Edinburgh. I think she’d love The Fringe. She is really passionate about new work. She’s also made of felt.
