Kathy-Ann Hart
Kathy-Ann Hart returned to singing, dancing and acting on film, stage and television to further her artistic mission - to increase empathy and foster cross-cultural understanding. She began performing as a child on the island of her birth - Trinidad, where she won prizes on the television show Twelve and Under for her dramatic performances of narrative poetry. If anyone finds footage of her in the poofy dress her mother made her wear, they should refer to the last sentence of this biography. She went on to perform in other national arenas, once opening for a national celebrity at a concert on Independence Day. Her bi-cultural background leads to her love of working overseas and with multicultural teams anywhere. When she returned to the performing arts, she played Bridget Bishop in the award-winning ensemble show - Cry Innocent: The People vs. Bridget Bishop! Since then, she's had lead and supporting roles in major film and on television as well as Principal roles in nationally running commercials. She sometimes admits that she attended Harvard Law School and practiced law for 7 years. She was a corporate lawyer with the white shoe law firm Ropes & Gray representing clients in multi-billion dollar transactions and she is exceedingly proud of her work litigating matters on behalf of HIV+ clients at the esteemed nonprofit AIDS Action Committee. Because she worked for the uber-rich and the very poor, she has an equanimity in her approach to her work as an actor. When she's not performing, you can find her in a yoga studio, on a bike in Spin class or dancing in Zumba...although maybe she's performing there too... An accomplished boxer, she discourages folks from being fooled by her sweet demeanor.
