Above all, Kaitlin is a community builder and believes theatre is one of the best ways we can commune together--to bear witness to what it means to be human, grow in our empathy, and collectively attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. Kaitlin has served as Pacific Theatre’s Artistic Director since September 2020. When not in the theatre she is happiest spending time with her husband Ben, and their daughter Mirren June.
