KATHARINA “KATIE” MUÑIZ is so excited to be back at Candlelight, but this time as a choreographer! She is a graduate of Long Island University – CW Post where she earned her BFA in Dance Studies. With a focus in musical theater and choreography, she has gone on to perform and choreograph regionally. You may recognize Katie from her past performances at Candlelight including in Cabaret (Frenchie), Catch Me If You Can (Diane/Ensemble) and in Best of Candlelight last fall. Some of her other favorite musical theater regional credits include Chicago (Hunyak/Uhuh), A Chorus Line (Cassie), Pippin (Player), Rock of Ages (Sapphire) and Newsies (Bowery Beauty/Nun/Ensemble). Katie has choreographed a number of musicals and works in her home of NYC and in the Philadelphia region, including In the Heights, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, High Fidelity and many of her own original works. She would like to thank Lauren for giving her this opportunity, the entire production team and cast, and The Candlelight for being such an amazing place to be, both as a performer, and as a production team member. Up next for Katie is choreographing one of her fave shows again, In the Heights at Pitman Theatre. Instagram: @katharina.muniz
