about Me

Hey there! I’m Katie Horner, I’m a bisexual, Philadelphia-grown, NYC-based actor, singer, playwright, composer, music director, and instrumentalist. I have a B.A. in Theatre from Temple University, summa cum laude.

 

As an actor, I’ve performed regionally at houses like Paper Mill Playhouse, North Shore Music Theatre, Florida Studio Theatre, ZACH Theatre, and the Fireside Theatre; I’ve also toured nationally with Buddy- The Buddy Holly Story.

 

I am currently a seasonal Music Director with RWS Global, providing world-class performances for cruise ships. I’ve music directed for companies like Theatre Horizon, 1812 Productions, Lantern Theatre Company, and the Philadelphia Fringe. I also have experience teaching and coaching through Arden Theatre Company and The University of the Arts.

 

My compositions have been performed and commissioned by Theatre Horizon, Temple University Singers, and other Philadelphia organizations. I am currently a second year composer with the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop as a composer. My singer-songwriter material can be streamed anywhere under the name Kay Rose.
