Meet the Artist: UNCSA Executive Producer Katharine Laidlaw

When the University of North Carolina School of the Arts celebrated winning an Emmy Award for the UNC-TV broadcast of its 2012 production Much Ado About Nothing, accepting the award at the 28^th annual Midsouth Regional Ceremony in Nashville, was UNCSA executive producer Katharine Laidlaw. Katharine's Broadway production credits read like a Who's Who list of Tony-nominated revivals, and her brand marketing experience includes positions with The Coca-Cola Company.

Since 2009 she's overseen the annual production of The Nutcracker, special programming, performance marketing, and co-productions with external institutions. She's also served as Executive Producer and General Manager of UNCSA's Oklahoma!, Much Ado about Nothing, and Dance Fantasies, all of which have premiered on UNC-TV.
