Meet the Hatboxes Cast: Kat O'Connor

Kat O’Connor plays Nadine, a secular Jewish lesbian lawyer, who runs into Miriam in a grocery store.

In real life, Kat divides her time between theatre and film, and working as a marketing and social media professional.  

She has been featured in a number of independent films, including The Dog (Featurepoint Cinema), Schizo Cool (Schizcago Pictures), and 16th Street (Studio 22).



She’s a company member of Terra Mysterium, a Chicago-based collective of musicians, actors, dancers, poets, magicians, and fire performers; creating, producing, and performing experiential works of music, theatre, and performance art that are rooted in the Earth mysteries. Kat has performed with them both musically and theatrically at the Chicago Fringe Festival, LaCosta Theatre, and a variety of community festivals. She'll be appearing at Terra Mysterium this September.


But, truth be told, she doesn’t always have her feet on the ground. In her spare time, she practices aerial circus arts at the Actors Gymnasium.


A graduate of Drew University, she is a natural storyteller, with words or, just as often, without. Her personal mission is to tell the story, and thus change the world, one heart at a time.
