Katie Newport- Past Playwright Laureate
Katie Newport is a Senior English and Creative Writing double major, and she’s been doing shows with PDP since her freshman year. She fell in love with theatre back in junior high but didn’t sell her soul to it until high school, where she mainly worked backstage building sets, painting, making props, and managing the run crew. As much as she’d love to become a famous writer and never have to work in an office, she’s planning on becoming an editor after graduation.
