Actor Rajane Katurah Joins Children's Theatre Company's Acting Company
Children's Theatre Company (CTC) announced today that actor Rajané Katurah will join CTC's Acting Company beginning with the 2019-2020 Season. Rajané relocated to Minnesota in 2017 when she accepted the offer to become one of the 2017-2018 Performing Apprentices and has most recently received rave reviews for her performance in Park Square Theatre's Marie and Rosetta. During her time as a CTC Performing Apprentice, she performed roles in Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Wiz, and Dr. Seuss's The Lorax, which was performed both at CTC as well as The Old Globe in San Diego, California. She joins as the fifth Acting Company member alongside Autumn Ness, Dean Holt, Gerald Drake, and Reed Sigmund.
"I am over-the-moon excited to become an Acting Company member at Children's Theatre Company," stated Rajané Katurah. "I admire the current members so much and I'm humbled to join the ranks of such amazing artists. I hope to continue to grow, learn, be challenged, succeed, and stretch myself during this new chapter of my life. I ultimately hope to inspire children of color everywhere to dream big, and be grateful for each 'No' that prepares them for their 'Yes'. Let's get to work!"
"It is a true pleasure for all of us to welcome Rajané to our Acting Company," stated Artistic Director Peter C. Brosius. "Rajané brings not only a wealth of talent, but also an incredible warmth and joy to every encounter. She is an actor of great depth and range and is passionate about creating extraordinary work. It was such a delight to have her as a Performing Apprentice and we are truly thrilled to now have her join our Acting Company."
