Kate Dawson-Cohen started performing at the age of 5 at the church talent show... and she was hooked!  Currently she plays an Executive Assistant by day, and a struggling artist/singer/writer/performer by night.  She is also married to the greatest man on the planet, and they have a precious little dog named Sophie. 

The A**HOLE IN MY HEAD is the first play Kate has written.

Theatre Credits: played Emily (Scrooge’s fiancé) for three seasons in A CHRISTMAS CAROL (at Madison Square Garden on Broadway), sharing the stage with several Scrooge’s over the years, including Roddy McDowall, Hal Linden, Frank Langella, and Tim Curry.
