Kate Britton, Education Director (she/her)
Storytelling is vital for Kate. She believes that is how humans find and make meaning in their journey through life. Theater is a tool for that journey. Like all art, it is absolutely necessary.
At Verge, Kate oversees all of its education programs. From Pause & Effect — our prison theater program — to in-house adult, teen, and youth classes, to in-school residencies, and all of its theater for social change programs. She is frequently instructing these classes as well. It is an honor for her to be a part of Verge; she’s proud to give back to a community that has offered so much to her.
Kate has been involved with theater nearly all her life. She has been teaching for over twenty years, and worked professionally as an actor for seventeen. She has worked on many projects over the years as an actor, writer, and collaborator, in many areas of the country, and several outside of the country. She is passionate, joyful, and happiest leaping around on stage with a group of students. When not at Verge, she can be found playing on the river with her wonderful family, instructing yoga, or blissfully digging around in her garden.
