KATHY GAIL MACGOWAN

DIRECTOR

Rosemary and Time is Kathy’s third collaboration with playwright Jennifer Fell Hayes. Kathy has successfully helped to shape and usher new work to the New York stage with “clarity and intelligence.” Kathy's production of Kentucky Cantata at HERE Arts Center was selected as a "Best of Off-Broadway" by critic Howard Miller. Her production of The Dishonorable Discharge of Private Pitts by Daniel Damiano, was lauded as "an heroic underdog that points a dirty yet necessary mirror back at its viewers.” Other highlights include her acclaimed productions of In The Summer Pavilion at 59E59 Street Theaters & FringeNYC (Daily News and Village Voice Highlight, Backstage “Critics Pick”), Broad Channel with the Up Theater Company, and The Golden Year with WorkShop Theater.

Last summer Kathy was thrilled to have helped curate and direct for the inaugural, new play festival at The Sheen Center staging six new plays by Catholic playwrights. Kathy also works with the NYU Acting Company and Conservatory Students at The Stella Adler Studio of Acting. She received her MFA from The New School of Drama in 2009 and was a 2010 Drama League Directing Finalist. She is a member of SDC and AEA.
