Cate McCrea is a theatermaker.

Also a set designer, scenographer, material dramaturg; inveterate collaborator, archive diver, amateur historiographer.

I specialize in collaborative development of new works. My designs are inspired by and drawn from craft techniques, recycled materials, and archival collections. My practice is anchored by the use of context as a tool to make meaning: daydreaming on a foundation of exhaustive research.

New Jersey native, and member of USA-829. Invested in an accessible, explicitly anti-racist, and sustainability-focused future for theater in the US.
