Kate Longazel

Kate studied theatre in high school under the direction of Elissa Marele and was highly reviewed in several South Florida News papers. She was also critically acclaimed by the Cappies Association and won several awards from The Florida State Thespian Festival. Kate moved to NYC in 2006 to pursue acting and attend Fordham University. She graduated with a BA degree in Theatre in 2010. While attending Fordham, Kate was able to work with talented artists in residence and knowledgeable instructors, headed by Matthew Maguire, who inspired and motivated her to continue her career in acting. Working with artist Daniel Alexander Jones, Kate had the opportunity to write and perform in her own one woman show, Pie in the Face. She has since continued to write and perform original work, including stand up and sketch comedy. Kate continued her training in London, at the London Dramatic Academy where she found a deep love for classical texts and the theatrical heritage of Shakespeare. Kate appeared in The Theatre for A New Audience's 2014 production of Eugene Ionesco's, The Killer, directed by Tony Award winning Darko Tresnjak and starring Academy Award Nominee, Michael Shannon. On screens big and small, Kate has been featured in independent short films, pilots and television networks such as NBC, USA, and Discovery ID. In a perfect full circle moment, Kate recently took over as the Theatre Director of her alma mater, Saint John Paul II Academy (formerly Pope John Paul II High School) in Boca Raton, Florida.
