About
Katherine Koller lives in Edmonton, Alberta and writes for radio, stage and screen.
Her one-act comedies have been produced at the Edmonton Fringe Festival, CBC radio, Jagged Edge Lunchbox Theatre, Winnipeg‘s FemFest, Alumnae Theatre in Toronto and Walterdale Playhouse in Edmonton.
Her full-length plays concern the pressures of science and technology on family relationships, often with the land or some element of nature playing a character part. Some are set in history to give meaning to present-day events. Coal Valley: the Making of a Miner was commissioned and produced in Drumheller in 2005 and is included in The Alberta Advantage, published by Playwrights Canada Press. The Seed Savers received its premiere at Workshop West Theater in 2009 and was produced at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, in 2010, and is forthcoming in Voices of the Land: The Seed Savers and Other Plays (2012) from Athabasca University Press. Katherine is currently working on Lily of the Prairie, which was developed in Workshop West Theatre’s Playwrights’ Unit, Last Chance Leduc and Dirt Baby.
Katherine also writes short plays on ethics for health professionals and filmscripts. Her feature script, Cowboy Boots and a Corsage, is in development. Katherine Koller teaches in the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta.
