Katie Nixon is a coloratura soprano and actor described as “a smoldering, evocative menace of an artist” by the Capitol Critics Circle. A Pennsylvania native, she earned her BFA in Acting with a minor in Vocal Performance from Pennsylvania State University, where she performed in productions including Twelfth Night and Barbecue.

Katie stars in the short film Silverwork, directed by Allison Dayne, and appears in Emmy-nominated filmmaker Braden McClain’s Senua’s Saga, inspired by Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

She is also the creator and performer of the award-winning solo show 52 Pickup, which earned the 2019 Ottawa Fringe Outstanding Solo Performance Award and the Brave Award from Toasted Theatre Company. In addition to performing, Katie develops original theatrical work through her company, Nixon Creative Development.
