Katherine Sanderson
Katherine was a choreographer/performer for 23 years, then a costume/clothing designer for many more. She continues to nourish her creative side with a rich diet of photography and digital art – taking a cue from Julia Child, “… try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, and above all have fun!” As Operations Manager for Paradise City since the beginning, she provides front-line management services with our artists, and also ensures that on-site show office operations run smoothly. When you come to a Paradise City show, you may not see Katherine, but you’ll hear her – she’s the mellifluous ‘Voice of Paradise City’ – making all of the PA announcements… come by and visit her in the show office!
