Katie Blackburn-Dust is a Lighting Designer, Stage Manager, and Arts Administrator based on Treaty 6 territory in Saskatoon, SK. Katie holds a BFA with Honours in Acting from the University of Saskatchewan, but is happy to have found her home in the theatre behind the scenes – more specifically, in the booth! Select lighting credits include Hamlet, As You Like It (Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan), The Art of French Cooking (25th Street Theatre), and A Winter’s Tale: Season of Light (in collaboration with children of the Jim Pattison Hospital Foundation, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan site lighting). Katie is proud to be a recipient of the SATAward for Outstanding Emerging Artist and a nominee for the SATAward for Excellence in Design. When not in the theatre, you can find Katie obsessing over some Star Trek or somewhere on a horse!
