Kate Muchmore Woo
Kate Muchmore Woo played a clown with white hair in her 5th grade production of Clowns. So it began! Throughout high school, she continued to develop a love for theatre by performing in productions and seeing as much theatre as she could. Two productions, Miss Saigon and An Inspector Calls (UK's Stephen Daldry, Director) had such an impact on her that she knew theatre would be her life path.
After receiving a BA in Theatre from Otterbein University, Kate moved to Seattle, WA where she worked in turn as a stage manager, actor, HVAC assistant project manager, administration assistant, hotel night auditor, and private school drama instructor.
In 2007, Kate received a MA in Theatre from Western Washington University and spent a year working with youth at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre, directing or devising such productions as Sleeping Beauty, Broken Hearts, and Abraham Lincoln and His Magic Remote.
Kate was next accepted into the MFA Directing program at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, where she honed her directing skills on such productions as Measure for Measure, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, and Pericles.
She is currently Associate Professor and Chair of Theatre in the School of the Arts, Media, and Culture at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia where she directs, teaches, mentors, and tries to stay sane. Outside of theatre, Kate and her Canadian sweetheart Derik love to travel, eat good food, and not get sucked into too many TV series. They have a dog named Sherlock who adds even more fun and chaos to their lives!
