Kathleen Zaccheo

Actor, Singer

Non-Union

“ I feel there is something unique about Kathleen which sets her apart from the plethora of romantic leading ingénues. She has the quirkiness and comic timing which enables her to play many roles those other young women her age would not be able to handle.”

– Michael MacLennan, Director / Choreographer
