Atlanta BookPAL Cathy Kaemmerlen has been reading at Powers Ferry Elementary School in Marietta for the past two two years and has participated in numerous other events. Cathy is also an author and has recently published a book called "General Sherman and the Georgia Belles: Tales from Women Left Behind."
Cathy is a professional storyteller, actress, and historical interpreter known for her variety of one-woman shows, her creatively artistic approach to storytelling, and her rapport with audiences.
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. Her history shows have been noted as "The best way to make history come to life for anyone."
Please join me in congratulating Cathy Kaemmerlen as Atlanta BookPAL of the Month for October 2006! We are very proud to have her on the Screen Actors Guild Foundation BookPALS Team!
