Cat Ramirez

“Director Ramirez’s attention to detail leaves participants feeling the quiet rage and engulfing hopelessness of an indifferent system before they even enter. Shuffling upstairs clutching paperwork in a slow-moving line brings the carefully crafted experience to the whole body. ”

“Cat Ramirez is an up and coming director who has used her immense talents to push InterAct’s ability to engage with our community on a socially responsible level. In addition, she is a tireless advocate and has moved an agenda of inclusiveness from being an internal mission of InterAct’s toward becoming a citywide initiative. In addition, her work for Philadelphia Asian Performing Artists is nothing short of herculean.”

“This debut of PAPA’s work under Ramirez’s creative direction is exciting. Institutional theaters continue to drag their feet when it comes to inclusion. Rather than waiting to be included, PAPA allows its artists to race ahead with meaningful, innovative work representing the real future of performance. “”
