Kate Sullivan likes to play around with words, music and pictures.
A linguist by training (B.A. in French and Latin), she is also an award-winning composer and performer. Her one-woman theatre piece about Lotte Lenya and Kurt Weill won the Independent Reviewers of New England prize and her Fugitum Est was premiered by The Kremlin Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. She has also given many solo performances, from Sculler’s Jazz Club in Boston to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Musuem in New York, always singing and playing, anything from the piano to the musical saw.
Above all, she is a storyteller who uses a multi-media approach to touch audiences.
She has been painting for many years, everything from portraits and landscapes to cartoons.
Kate has written and illustrated a travel memoir Eating Through Italy, a screenplay, The Secret Lives of Bartlesby Westside, numerous short stories and also has drawers full of poetry that she’s done absolutely nothing about.
Kate lives with her husband Bill, in Newburyport, MA, a little city on the ocean, where they enjoy a country mouse, city mouse life.
Kate is working on the next book about Stella Mae Culpepper and her neighbors.
