Cathy Kaemmerlen is a professional storyteller/actress/historical interpreter/author known for her variety of one-woman shows, her creatively artistic and animated approach to storytelling, and her rapport with audiences of all ages.  She is committed to bringing stories, both literary and historical, to life.

Performing for over 30 years, she has done literally thousands of solo in-school performances throughout the country, using her dance and theatre backgrounds to enrich her tales and bring her characters to life, and her writing skills to craft her varied stories and shows.

A performer and "creator of shows" since she can remember, going back to a highly imaginative childhood, she has been a recipient of a choreographer's fellowship from the S.C.Arts Commission/NEA and individual artist's grants from the California Arts Council, Wisconsin Arts Board, and the Georgia Arts Council.

Cathy is the author of two books with the History Press:  GENERAL SHERMAN AND THE GEORGIA BELLES:  TALES OF WOMEN LEFT BEHIND and THE HISTORIC OAKLAND CEMETERY OF ATLANTA:  SPEAKING STONES and THE BUZZ ON HONEYBEES with Pelican Press, out in spring 2012.
