The William Inge Center for the Arts at Independence Community College is thrilled to announce Christin Eve Cato as the Fall 2024 Inge Playwright-In-Residence. Cato, an acclaimed Puerto Rican playwright, educator, and interdisciplinary artist from the Bronx, will spend her residency developing new works and engaging with the local community.

Her work frequently explores themes of identity, gentrification, and cultural heritage, and she is a member of several prestigious organizations such as the Latinx Playwrights Circle and the Dramatists Guild of America.
Cato’s residency at the William Inge Center offers the opportunity for community members, students, and local artists to engage with her through workshops, readings, and special events.
