    Tea Time with Lindz: Katierose Donohue Enriquez

    Los Angeles based actor, writer and director Katierose Enriquez created the solo show "Queen of Fishtown" which is returning to New York City following award winning runs at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Hollywood Fringe Festival, in London at the King’s Head Theatre, at Theatre Row on 42nd Street, and in Philadelphia at Plays and Players Theatre where Katierose performed her show in the city that inspired it. "Katierose has created such a heartfelt and honest story with a perfect unsung hero. That's not a character we hear from very often and it's about damn time she gets her own show. It's hilarious but I didn't expect to be so moved by it..." -- Andrew Rannells (Girls, Book of Mormon, Black Monday, Boys in the Band) “In this one woman show, Katierose brings Kathleen to life with a fantastic narrative of a 40-year-old woman, dealing with change to the neighbourhood she has grown up with and the dramatic changes in her own life. She also brings to life all the other characters in the plot in this truly poignant and hilarious piece of work, a somewhat Irish stubborn humour made better with the fantastic Philly accent.” – The Artiscape “The prime strength of Queen of Fishtown to my mind is the voice it affords to a certain kind of woman in our society, not necessarily from Northeast Philly, who is often overlooked or ignored” RECOMMENDED - Deborah Klugman at Stage Raw Awards: * Best Character Driven Solo Show Fireworks Award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe * Platinum Award, TVolution for Best Female Solo Show at Hollywood Fringe * Best of Broadwater Encore Award Hollywood Fringe * Namba Performing Arts Encore Winner * Best Solo Show Hollywood Fringe Nominee * SPLASH Award Female Voices Nominee Katierose has her MFA from American Repertory Theater’s Institute at Harvard University and the Moscow Art Theatre and is an alumnus of the Groundlings Sunday Company.
