About this Event

"Queen of Fishtown" is a character comedy set in Philadelphia about the struggle to maintain one's authenticity while facing inevitable change. Bad enough Kathleen Burke's neighborhood has gentrified around her, when she gets the surprise of her life at her 40th birthday party it triggers her own high stakes battle between “woo-woo” healing and working class attitude.

Written and performed by Katierose Donohue Enriquez

Director by Corey Podell.

Queen will be in Philadelphia at Plays and Players July 20th - 24th.

After that Queen is headed to London to Preview at King's Head Theatre before landing in Scotland to perform at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

In November Queen of Fishtown will be on theater row in NYC for United Solo Fest.

ABOUT US:

Katierose Donohue Enriquez (WRITER/STAR of “Queen of Fishtown”) is an actor, writer, producer, director, and host living in Los Angeles. Originally from the Philadelphia area, when Katierose moved to Los Angeles she began studying and performing at LA’s premiere sketch and improv theater, The Groundlings. That is where she met Corey Podell (director.) Together, the two went on to found two long-running and sometimes even award-winning sketch groups: Three Hole Punch and Big Boss Comedy. Both women were invited into the Groundlings Sunday Company, which writes and performs a brand new show every week. They later created “Ma’am” all female, live, sketch comedy showcase. Katierose continued to produce and perform in "Ma’am” featuring a rotating cast of phenomenal women for the next 4 years. Her solo sketch showcase, “THAT WOMAN!” was directed and mentored by “Saturday Night Live’s” Mikey Day.

Katierose co-wrote, starred and produced a short film, DEALBREAKER that was an official selection at several film festivals, won the Audience Award at the Media Film Festival and opened the inaugural ROM-COM night at the Rincon International Film Festival in Puerto Rico.

She has her BA in Fine Arts from Rider University, which she attended (one million years ago) on a full tuition scholarship for Acting and received the President’s Award upon graduation. But, as Kathleen Burke (the titular “Queen”) would say, “okay… well, la-di-da.”

Corey Podell (DIRECTOR of “Queen of Fishtown”) is a Florida raised, LA based, director and performer. In 2019 Corey co-devised the one woman clown show, "Gutterplum", which was produced by the Soho Theatre in London and had a sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
