The PCS Theater community is terribly saddened by the devastating loss of Kathleen Coll Senkow, who passed away suddenly on Friday, April 19.
Kathie volunteered at PCS Theater for more than 50 years and was an integral part of the fabric of our community, both artistically and administratively. She forged a new path for women in leadership positions at PCS Theater. Her accomplishments include:
• Served multiple terms as a member of the Board of Governors
• Elected as President, Vice President and Secretary during separate terms while on the Board of Governors
• Served as the Second Stage Producing Director
• Chaired the Fundraising Committee, Centennial Celebration Committee, Audience Development Committee, and the Costume Committee, among others
• Integral participation on many significant fundraising efforts, up to and including a major grant from Quest for the Best in 2022.
Artistically, Kathie was a highly accomplished actress appearing in over 30 productions – most recently in “Three Tall Women,” directed by her late husband, Bohdan Senkow. She is also seen above in a photo of what she described as her favorite role at PCS Theater – Martha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
Kathie rightfully earned her place on the PCS Theater Wall of Honor in 2022, joining Bohdan and becoming the second woman to earn that distinction.
Collectively, there is a hole in our hearts, and she will be missed.
But mostly she adds, “I really just love going in on Saturdays. It’s a way to contribute to something, and it’s also relaxing and rewarding. I’ve learned practical skills. I’ve learned about tools. Turns out, I really like routers.”
