MEET SPARK INSTRUCTOR KATIE
Katie Coan
Lead Theater Educator & Director
Katie Coan has been inspiring young performers since 2022, when she first began volunteering with Monmouth Community Players. What started as a passion for helping children discover their voices on stage quickly blossomed into a full creative journey. Katie went on to direct at Gardiner Middle School and later joined Gaslight Theater in Hallowell as an assistant director. Her love for children’s theater continued to grow through her work with MCPKids! and as a lead theater camp counselor at the historic Waterville Opera House, where she continues to share her enthusiasm for the performing arts each season.
A lifelong performer herself, Katie has been dancing and acting since childhood. She’s had the honor of singing at Disney World in Florida, performing alongside the Yale Jazz Band, and even delivering the National Anthem at Dodd Stadium in Connecticut. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, Katie brings creativity, kindness, and a deep belief in the power of theater to ignite confidence and joy in every child she works with.
