What students say about Katie
“Working alongside Dr. Katie, I can speak to her heart for students’ success, quality theatre, and well developed curriculum. Dr. Katie is one of the most hardworking, earnest, and honest professors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working alongside. Dr. Katie doesn’t just teach storytelling, she helps students understand how life changing stories can be. For a long time, I thought theatre was simply another form of entertainment for people. After working my first show with Dr. Katie, I saw how theatre is a conduit for change and understanding.”
“Dr. Katie Wampler is an excellent acting coach for both beginners and experienced actors alike. She constantly endeavors to help the actor grow in their skills, abilities, and confidence on stage, as well as in everyday life… She discusses the performances with the actor and works to teach in the way the actor learns best, making the process extremely collaborative and welcoming. I always feel like I can go to her with any ideas, concerns, or observations and I know she’ll be willing to sit down for a cup of tea and discuss them with me.”
“Every opportunity I have had to work with Dr. Katie has been beneficial to my growth as an actor and as an individual. Her drive and passion for the work she does is contagious, and I am constantly finding myself sharing in her joy for creating excellence. She presents helpful feedback and welcomes it from others, which makes working with her meaningful and collaborative. I have been the most confident as an actor under her direction and I will take what I have learned from her into future acting opportunities.”
“Dr. Katie holds a magnificent power when she teaches and directs. She is eternally patient and compassionate, but always seeks betterment and perfection for her vision through her students, actors, designers etc. Dr. Katie sees everything; the effort, the pain, the ‘lightbulb moment’, the mistake and the overwhelming and addicting feeling of live theatre. She sees herself in her students, and more importantly, she sees her students in herself. Dr. Katie helped me grow and step into my power as an artist and a person.”
