42nd Street Moon is with Catrina Manahan.

⭐Artist Highlight: Catrina Manahan⭐

Catrina is thrilled to be a part of Moon’s season announcement. Raised in Foster City, she took her first dance class during her freshman year of high school on a whim, which inspired her to enroll at the Hillbarn Conservatory, take jazz, tap, and ballet at the Dance Arts Center and study voice. She thanks the San Mateo High School Dance and Drama departments (special shoutout to Robyn Tribuzi and Brad Friedman) for helping her ultimately discover her passion for theater. And the rest was history – she has performed around the Bay Area ever since. Select credits include: Mitzi in Fiorello! (42nd Street Moon), Marcy Park in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Hillbarn Theatre and Bay Area Musicals), Cha Cha DiGregorio in Grease (Berkeley Playhouse), Phyllis in 42nd Street (Bay Area Musicals), Chastity in Anything Goes and West Side Story (Broadway by the Bay), Pilar in Legally Blonde the Musical and Cabaret (Hillbarn Theatre) and Mary Poppins (San Francisco Playhouse).

We so excited to have Catrina on our virtual stage! Watch her on "Full Moon Fridays: Live Cabaret Series" at 8PM on July 30 for a special 2021-2022 Season Teaser episode! Watch on Facebook Live or on our website at 42ndstmoon.org
