Katy Early

Equally at home in theatre and opera, Katy is a stage director, actor, singer, and current MFA candidate at Brooklyn College. She makes politically relevant and personally resonant work that endeavors to shift our communities away from violence towards care.

She is thrilled to be working with collaborators in New York, New England, and beyond. Recent directing credits include a site-specific production of La Traviata (MassOpera, 2021), a staged workshop production of Omar Najmi's new operatic setting of En la ardiente oscuridad (Mosesian Center for the Arts, 2019), and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (her very own backyard in Queens, 2018).

With a particular interest in how folk music can be blended with theatre, she has trained with several European theater companies in France and Poland (Pantheatre, Teatr Zar, Song of the Goat) in recent years. She holds bachelor's degrees in both theatre and vocal performance from Oberlin College & Conservatory.
