Kathleen's quest for dramatic tuition finally arrived when she was accepted into Box Hill College's Drama/Dance T.O.P course - and her life changed forever! She continued her studies at Melbourne University, B.Ed (Sec) in Drama, Dance & Literature where she was awarded the Dr Percy Jones Drama Scholarship. Whilst teaching part-time, she pursued an acting, singing and modelling career, during which time she worked on Henderson Kids, Prime Time, Chances, various commercials and in 1990 was named the face of Sportscraft. A highlight of her acting career during this period was playing "Helena" in the Australian Film Corporation & Hawthorn Institute's feature film A Midsummer Night's Dream. For theatre, she played lead roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Skirmishes, The Mysteries and Little Brother Little Sister. She additionally wrote, co-produced and directed three Corporate Films for Diners Club International, starring Tony Barber (Sale of The Century). After a break to attend to her maternal instincts, Kathleen returned to the theatre after completing the "Acting Up" drama class series with Sally McLean in 2003 & 2004, going on to gain a lead role in A Grand Night For Singing and "Milly" in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Other recent theatre roles include "Christine" in Dancing at Lughnasa and "Sheila Wendice" in Dial 'M' For Murder. Additional training includes vocal/singing under Monique Brunnel.
