Katie Akers

Hi! Katie Akers here, and I’ve been a lover of the art and stage since the 1st grade. Since my role as “Red Riding Hood’s Basket”, the stage has been my passion. After my B.F.A from Wayne State University in Acting and a minor in Musical Theatre, I was the female acting/administrative intern for Meadow Brook Theatre for their 2019/2020 season.

You may have seen me as Edith in “Blithe Spirit”, Summer Eve in “Jingle Babs”, or in Meadow Brook Theatre’s holiday classic “A Christmas Carol”.

When not on the stage, you can find me listening to a true crime podcast, re-learning how to knit, or baking a gluten-free treat.
