KATIE ANVIL RICH

About

| Acting |

I've created a career in the theatre defined by critically acclaimed new works penned by cutting edge and established playwrights,  built on a foundation of classical training. Performing in original, devised, and classical work in the UK, Poland & Russia as well as the United States. Off the stage, I've narrated 50+ audiobooks for major publishers, am an alum of the Walt Disney Discovers Talent Showcase, The Guthrie Experience, British American Drama Academy. Particularly proud of my work as a company member, I am an active member of the OSF Performing Company, Native Voices Actor Ensemble, have performed in rotating repertory and have my MFA in Acting from Harvard University & The Moscow Art Theatre School.

| Behind the Scenes |

For over five years as Literary Manager at Native Voices, America's only Equity Theater dedicated to the development of new plays by American Indian, First Nations, Native Hawaiian & Alaska Native playwrights, I supported the development of over 100 new plays by Indigenous writers, seeing many from workshop to production. I've directed & stage managed readings, workshops, tours, and productions at Native Voices, Harvard University, CalState LA, CalPoly: Pomona, San Diego State University, and the Hollywood Fringe Festival, among others. Most of my writing is television and feature scripts where I work out whatever I'm going through in my own life through heightened weirdness that I'd like to watch if I had the keys to the kingdom. I have written and devised a number of new plays and theatrical experiences produced throughout the U.S.. I was a Disney Entertainment Writing Program Finalist and Harvardwood Television Writers' Program Director, among other things.

| Misc. |

I'm a descendant of the Chickasaw and Cherokee Nations and am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community's increasing prominence in theatre, television, film & literature. through my body of work (and continued existence).

I'm an INFJ, and if you know any INFJs (and maybe you don't, because we are the rarest personality type - some of my personality-type-peers*: Taylor Swift, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Osama Bin Laden), you'll get it. 

*how can any of this possibly be verifiable?

I love a TV series rewatch, a challenge, and a labradoodle.
