KATIE THATCHER

Katie Thatcher is thrilled to be back with Speaking of Stories. This is Katie's 4th appearance with SOS, but feels doubly lucky to be working with her dear friend Maggie Mixsell who always makes her feel safe and more talented then she really is! Santa Barbara audiences last saw Katie in the lead role of Miranda in SBCCTG's production of Expecting Isabel this past summer and this past spring as Luba in The Lady and The Clarinet, also directed by Maggie Mixsell . Expecting Isabel marked Katie's 13th appearance with the SBCC Theatre Group. Over the years Katie had been honored with 3 Independent Theatre Awards for various work done at both SBCCTG and Ensemble Theatre Group. A native of Wisconsin, Katie relocated here some 16 years ago (when she was a mere child) and rediscovered her passion for music and theater. Katie has also worked in film and television and you may recognize her from some local commercials done over the years. Katie teaches drama and vocal performance to the area children of the Santa Ynez Valley through a non-profit organization called Arts Outreach, a group she feels fiercely proud to be a part of. She dedicates her performance to Sweet Tom, the bravest person she has ever had the honor of knowing and loving.
