(Casey) Katie is thrilled to reprise her role as Casey after mounting First Date with Coal Creek Theater of Louisville last year. Before COVID, she pounded the pavement in New York City, performing Off-Broadway in such roles as Sister James in Doubt, a Parable and Ariel in The Tempest. She trained at the Actors Studio Drama School, where she received her MFA in Acting. When not telling stories on stage, her "real person" job is telling stories as a digital marketer. In her spare time, she enjoys crocheting lopsided blankets, petting all the dogs, blowing her money at farmer's markets and waking up at 4:00AM to watch F1 races. Her family is the reason she's here today. Love and green light.
