The Caitlin Clarke Page

A fan has created a video montage tribute to Ms. Clarke and has posted it on YouTube. Give it a visit.

In this world talent, training, and a long career more often do not bring recognition. Yet they can engender a love of one's craft that not only does not die, but is willing to pass itself on to others.

Such was actress Caitlin Clarke.

Working mostly on the stage, Katie has received acclaim from fellow actors, from students and teaching colleagues, and from theatre critics for performances even in the worst plays. Yet she is undeservingly obscure. This is why I have dedicated this memorial Web site to her.
