There, she appeared as Ariel in an adaptation of The Little Mermaid, and taught workshops for students Kindergarten through sixth grade. As a graduate of Cleveland State University’s theater studies program, Kat would like to thank all her mentors in the Cleveland arts community for their guiding hands in her acting career. Many thanks, as well, to her friends and family for their unwavering support.
