About Me!
I am Terry Kitagawa (he/ him), PNW based "jack of all trades" theatremaker, originally from San Francisco and with many years previously in and out of NYC. I'm primarily an actor, musician, director, and acting/ audition coach with credits ranging from assistant directing Off-Broadway to being the understudy for Cambodian Rock Band at OSF to being in a touring children's musical in Seattle about WWII and Japanese incarceration.
My life in theatre continues to be one with multiple hats. In college, in addition to studying acting, I also studied stagecraft, scenic design, lighting design, stage managing, singing, dance and movement, and directing. I believe having knowledge in as many aspects of theatre is immensely useful to making a collaborative space to create spectacular art. One day you could find me on stage as an actor, but another day hanging and focusing lights.
My goal is also to be an educator, as some of the most influential people in my life are teachers. I'm pretty sure I was awful when I started acting, and that no natural talent was to be found in me. But looking back on where I began, I have come so far in my journey as a theatremaker through years of hard work and the help of my many teachers and mentors. I believe that anyone can become an artist through that work and support, and I want to be that teacher for them.
Cheers!
