ABOUT PENELOPE

PENELOPE was created by Kaitlin in 2014 at the Helikos International School in Florence, Italy.  Penelope embodies radiant love and subversive silliness. She is a mighty warrior of Play.  She is visceral, impulsive, joyful, raw, and emotional. She is full of fear and full of love. She is messy. She is scared and brave. She is vulnerable. She is free in the expression of her painful,  joyful humanity, and that's her magic. ​

PENELOPE has in The People's Improv Theater SoloFest, NY Clown Theater Festival at The Brick, Force Majeure at Cobra Club. She has also made appearances at Stonewall Inn and Chinatown Soup. ​​

​Not because she was scary, but because she made me feel things."
