Katerina Morin '26 Cast as young Gloria Estefan in "On Your Feet!"
Katerina Morin, an eighth-grader, has been cast to play young Gloria Estefan in the musical “On Your Feet” playing at the Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre from February 9 – March 6, 2022.
Katerina is active in PTS’s theater program where she has participated in Junior
Thespians and in two productions including “Matilda” where she was cast as the lead
and “Sister Act” playing Sister Mary Robert. She has also been cast to play Taylor in the PTS
production of “High School Musical” this spring.
"Katerina is one of the most dedicated and professional students we have here at
Palmer Trinity School. Whether playing a lead role or rehearsing for a thespian piece,
she puts her heart and soul into it and achieves greatness through preparation,
responsibility and a singing voice that exceeds most 40-year-old singers,” shares
Michael Stoddard, performing arts and theater instructor at Palmer Trinity.
“She has been our Junior Thespian president for two years helping pass on this work ethic to younger thespians and I am so proud of her recent Critics Choice at our 2021 District
competition. I am so excited for her to take on this role and shine brightly for all of Miami
to see!"
Outside of school, Katerina has been a part of the Miami Children’s Chorus since the
third grade. In 2019, she was a finalist in the the Actors’ Playhouse Young Talent Big Dreams (YTBD) competition Individual Vocal category and was selected as a winner in the category of Vocal Groups in 2021.
Katerina says, “PTS prepared me to pursue my goals in musical theater because the
theater community is so loving, accepting, and supportive. During rehearsal, you are
encouraged to not hold back, and it is a safe space that teaches you to be confident.

Overall, Palmer Trinity helped me be more confident during auditions and to learn to
take direction and criticism well.”
