I have always used my maiden name ‘Wilson’ as my professional or ‘stage’ name. In one of those quirky coincidences that happen in life I find that there is another ‘Kate Wilson’ who also practises as a voice coach. Ms Wilson works as an instructor at Julliard School in NYC. If you’re looking for the ‘other’ Kate Wilson, try there. Otherwise, dear reader … carry on.
What follows is a list of my professional and university productions as actor, director, and writer.
