Full Intro: Katharine Ruppert
Introducing... Katharine Ruppert
Katharine (Katie) Ruppert has enjoyed a variety of roles since finding her way to the stage in 1998, at the tender age of 6. Katie performed with the San Bruno and Millbrae public school theater programs until her recent graduation from Mills High School, amassing memorable roles along the way, including Emily Brent in And Then There Were None (2009) and Queen Aggravain in Once Upon A Mattress (2011). During the Summer of 2010, she joined the San Francisco based theater company YPTMTC, where she played several roles, such as Snow White in Once Upon A Broadway- A Musical Revue and Mildred in Stephen Sondheim’s premiere musical, Saturday Night (2011), during YPTMTC’s Season of Sondheim. Following graduation, she played the role of Mrs. Thurstan Howell III in Moore Theater’s reprisal production of Gilligan’s Island: Live On Stage (2011).
Another project Katie is proud of is the student written, directed and acted play Choices, that was written in response to the a Burlingame Highschool Student’s tragic suicide, in 2010. She created the role of Melissa, an upbeat, state appointed suicide councilor charged with uncovering the demons of a group of suicidal teens dealing with stress, heartbreak, divorce, teen pregnancy and homophobia. That same Spring, she created the role of Maxine in the student made mockumentry An Homage to Hitchcock.
Early in her schooling, Katie won a school wide award for comedic acting two years running (2006 & 2007). In the Spring of 2010 she coupled her love of acting with her fascination with legal studies to play the lead role of defendant Jordan Bratton (Jo- “The Joker”) for her high school’s high achieving mock trial team, and was presented with the San Mateo County Award For Outstanding Witness in a Mock Trial Situation. She was presented with the 2011 Mills Highschool’s Performer Of The Year Award this last May.
Katie, in an effort to become a well rounded member of the theatrical community, has also built a background in technical theater. She has run sound for many Mills High School assemblies, presentations, talent shows, and concerts. Katie has also stage managed for several assembly-esq. functions, repaired costumes, built sets (though she cannot fathom why anybody in their right mind would allow her to use power tools), run spotlight, directed at a student level, bludgeoned a rat, organized a multitude of post-show recreational activities for cast, crew and orchestra, and ran warm-ups. She has also assisted her former directors and theatrically based teachers with organizing, choreographing, menial office work, and running the circus that truly is the audition process. Katie is a former employee of the Boy Scouts of America and TheaterFun.
Rejecting the idea of an average college experience, Katie is scheduled to graduate from a two-year intensive theater conservatory in 2013. Upon that time, she wishes to pursue a career in the field of Theater for Social Change.
