Katie Galetti started her artistic career as an opera singer, having completed her MM in Voice and Opera at the University of Missouri–Kansas City Conservatory. After singing for many years, she shifted into roles “behind the table” in an effort to challenge long-held traditions and patterns of abuse in the arts. In this capacity, she grew through multiple positions at Chicago theaters, landing on the artistic team at Writers Theatre in Glencoe, where she currently serves as the Artistic Producer and Casting Director. Since joining WT in 2018, she has developed a reputation in the actor community for her warmth, equitable practices, and deeply empathetic sensibilities. She has cast and produced over three dozen projects and developed multiple world and regional premieres. Some of her favorite productions include Athena, directed by Jess Fisch; Once, directed and choreographed by Katie Spelman; and Translations, directed by Braden Abraham. Outside of WT, she serves as the Casting Consultant at Remy Bumppo Theatre in Chicago and is a freelance casting director regionally. In addition to her casting work, Galetti produces events of multiple genres, including opera, digital, experiential, and film, with a focus on immersive and experimental storytelling methods. She has worked with Little Cinema Digital, 13Exp, and HERE Arts & Culture Consulting as a producer, is the founder and Artistic Director of Janus Concert Series, and is a founding member of the Chicago Opera Collective. Outside of theater, Galetti is a volunteer with Resilience Chicago as a Sexual Assault Crisis Advocate. www.katiegaletti.com
