I am an early-career queer theatre director/producer based in London, currently working full-time in theatre marketing.

I am the co-founder and current Artistic Director of Love Song Productions, an emerging queer theatre company. With Love Song, I have directed and produced two consecutive 5-star, award-nominated productions at Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe.

I am also a theatre critic - I write Broadway World UK and The Scotsman and won the Fringe Young Writer Award 2023.

I'm currently interested in AD jobs and other directing/dramaturgy opportunities, and also work as a freelance marketing & press manager - please email me at katiejkirkpatrick@gmail.com !
