Kate Name

I’m a multi-hyphenate artist passionate about immersive theater, pop culture history, and the cyclical nature of fame, time, and the human experience.

My primary project is The Factory - an immersive show about the world of Andy Warhol and events that lead to his attempted assassination by Valerie Solanas. This tightly choreographed show explores Warhol’s 15 "Minutes of Fame" ethos through the cycle of abuse - elevating and discarding people in a relentless loop. But it’s not just a history lesson; it’s chaotic, sexy, wild, and terrifying.

The concept is simple - the audience is invited to a party at Warhol’s Factory, where they can help silkscreen paintings, sit for their own Screen Test, film an "underground movie", and rock out with the live band. As the cast and audience work together to create original art, the story of Warhol's Factory unfolds around them.

My work on The Factory has been recognized with multiple grants, including awards from the Brooklyn Arts Council (Brooklyn Arts Fund 2024) and the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA 2025). These grants have helped me develop and produce multiple workshops, and I’m currently seeking further funding and partnerships to expand the production.

Beyond theater, I run a monetized YouTube channel where I create deep-dive videos on the world of Warhol, old Hollywood, punk rock history, and the ways pop culture constantly recycles itself. My research-driven yet engaging storytelling approach has helped grow my audience, and I’m always looking to collaborate with fellow creators in the documentary, film, or theater space.

I’m also the choreographer, backup singer, and dancer for Reality Bites - a high-energy ‘90s cover band that delivers the ultimate nostalgic live experience. We bring the raw, unfiltered energy of the era to life, combining powerhouse musicianship with an electrifying stage show that gets audiences on their feet.

In addition to performing, I work as a storytelling and pitch coach, helping artists and entrepreneurs craft compelling narratives for public speaking, interviews, investor pitches, and grant writing. As a multiple-time Moth StorySLAM winner and a recipient of grants from the Brooklyn Arts Council and NYSCA, I specialize in shaping stories that captivate, persuade, and inspire.

I’m here to connect with immersive theater makers, producers, content creators, writers, and fellow creatives who are passionate about innovative storytelling.

Let’s build something unforgettable!
