The Ventriloquist Circle, which was developed at Kenny Scharf's Cosmic Cavern, was a Voice Choice[7] in January 2012 and Backstage.com described it as "a surrealist detective story in order to explore notions of power, renegade sexuality, and love.".[8] Play America, written by frequent collaborator Matt Wilson, was nominated for the 2011 IT award for Outstanding Original Full-Length Script.[9]
Kathryn read for English Literature at The University of Cambridge and was awarded an MFA from Columbia University School of the Arts, for which she directed Jean Genet's The Screens.[10]
