December 9, 2025Worth every penny
Cat was amazing/extremely professional. Arrived from a long distance very early to prepare for the event. Was very flexible and patient as the requirements morphed/drifted as the event proceeded. Performance was perfect which included Cat thinking on her feet and improvising. It was not an easy gig, and I really appreciated Cat's mellow presence and professionalism.

Booking information

What to expect
Trained and worked as co-founding company member of Synetic Theater in Washington, DC. Catherine provides not only a memorable mime with exceptional 'fixed point illusion' abilities but can provide specific theatricalities and improvisation. Catherine is incredibly versatile, also known as a dancing mime to any kind of music, she's got the moves. Always professional and prompt for arrival. Ms. Gasta takes direction very well and can build her character specifically for the event.
