A Born Storyteller
Katerina McCrimmon was born and raised in Miami, FL and fell in love with music and theatre as a small child. Although no one in her family was naturally gifted musically, her large Cuban-American family sung through their words and she found a home in the music of her people. After discovering this passion, she attended various performing arts schools in Miami for Musical Theater and graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Music degree in Musical Theatre.
Katerina is a Presidential Scholar in the Arts and National YoungArts Winner in Theatre. She coaches acting and voice privately and directs for the highly esteemed Miami Children’s Theater. In the Fall of 2019, she was discovered by actress Marisa Tomei and made her Broadway debut in the revival of Tennessee Williams's The Rose Tattoo, making her childhood dream a reality.
When Katerina isn’t performing, she loves to see life through a camera’s lens, cooking, painting, and writing music. She resides in New York City and is working on her first solo album - Holy Animals.
Reviews
Broadway World
"Also impressive is Katerina McCrimmon as Nina. McCrimmon's exceptionally strong voice and charismatic presence gave her character - the neighborhood's shining star - a memorably emotional arc. Her first song, Breathe," is a highlight."
Broadway World
"Katerina McCrimmon also makes a strong impression as Sheila, the object of both Berger's and Claude's desire. Her opening song, "I Believe in Love," as well as another solo number, "Easy to Be Hard," are real standouts, and McCrimmon is a warm presence throughout the play."
New Haven Review
"The youngest generation is well-served by Katerina McCrimmon as younger sister Mildred; she squirms about on the couch at one point with the kind of eager-to-break-out-of-it-all energy that makes us wonder what a play focused on her might become."
TTCN
"Rasmussen gets uniformly strong performances out of the talented cast. McCrimmon and Victomé deserve to be singled out because their characters undergo the most significant changes in attitude, and both actors make those moments convincing."
