The journey that led us to you.
All In Theatre took the stage in 2022 when our Founding Artistic Director, Katie, discovered an opportunity to give back.
Throughout her extensive theatre experience, she noticed her hometown of Harrisburg, PA, was in desperate need of a children’s theatre program.
But not just any program — one that truly embraced the magic of musical theatre. A space where young people of all backgrounds and abilities could be celebrated. Applauded. Recognized!
Together with her childhood friend and local Harrisburg business owner, Anna, they’re All In, ready to empower the stories of the youth in the Harrisburg community.
Katie FOGARTY
Founding Artistic Director
Katie has worked in children’s theatre worldwide for over 15 years. Her expertise led her to become a Program Director of three children’s theatre companies in New York — Mainstages, Random Farms Kids Theatre, and Camp Chipinaw.
Throughout her career, Katie’s witnessed several of her students pursue their dreams and make it on Broadway. For over three years, she gained experience abroad, teaching children’s theatre in China to empower creativity, independent thought, and self-expression.
Katie opened the very first expat-founded theatre in the city of Shenzhen, receiving high praise, popularity, and news coverage from CCTV!
Of all her adventures, nothing is more meaningful than her new calling: All In Theatre. As a native of Harrisburg, PA, and its theatre scene, Katie is on a mission to bring the beauty of musical theatre to her community. More than productions and performances, theatre is about community, family, and inclusivity.
Calling on her diverse experience across the industry, she’s ready to create an experience every child won’t forget.
Anna Brandt

To her, All In is about creating a space where all children can shine with the support, attention, and compassion they deserve.
