Katherin 'KAT' Poon
My leadership style reflects my personality; adventurous, inquisitive, and bold. As a costume designer, I strive to ask questions that push the creative team farther and collaborate in ways that push boundaries and expectations. As a director, I aim to create spaces that allow the whole company to take chances and find their unique voices in the stories told on stage.
Through my reputation as a strong personality and go getter, I have been elected into various leadership positions through my undergraduate career. My most prized position is serving as the Artistic Director/President of Second Stage Productions, Michigan State University’s student lead theatre organization. I cherish giving students the space to express stories of their choosing.
​
I will always advocate for greater diversity, fairness, and joy in the stories we tell and show we tell them. I look forward to collaborating with you!
