We’re excited to announce our NY Thespian Festival 2026 keynote speaker — Catherine Quirico!

A proud New Jersey Thespians alum, Catherine brings her passion for storytelling full circle as she returns to inspire the next generation of theatre artists.

Catherine Quirico is an actress with over 10 years in the industry, with a genuine love and passion for storytelling. Her start in the industry began as a commercial model: with campaigns for Hasbro, Toys R Us, Party City, and more. Modeling led to her realizing that what she really wanted to do was act!

Catherine recently earned her BFA in Acting for Film, Television, and Theatre from Rider University. She has trained with MN Acting Studio, Dena Tyler, and Geoffrey Blake. She credits every teacher and every set with pushing her to grow, stretch, and remain endlessly curious. She has appeared in FBI, CIA, Your Friends & Neighbors, There She Goes, and Stop Time, as well as Off-Broadway credits, most recently originating a role in Regarding the Disappearance of Amy.

Through her experiences she loves exploring all types of roles: comedic, dramatic, messy, grounded. When she is not acting, you can usually find her playing video games, working out, or hanging out with her pets!

Meet our STO – Mariangel Osorio

Mariangel began theater her sophomore year of high school as a crew member for their play. Since starting, she fell in love with being backstage but also being helpful. Her favorite high school production was Legally Blonde since there were many wacky moments and happy mishaps that made the whole experience unforgettable. During her free time, she enjoys learning new skills like making yarn bracelets or learning new braid styles. Her goal as an STO is to be able to show everyone the amazing community she was introduced to when she first began and she can’t wait to continue her journey with another amazing group of people!

Meet your STO – Jordan Rivera

Jordan is in the 12th grade and is heavily involved with his school's theater program! He also loves marching band and Indoor percussion as he has recently gotten back into playing the drums! He loves music in its entirety, no matter what form. One goal he has as an STO is to make sure the voices of all thespians alike are heard and listened to. Thespians can expect him to try and make sure that no one falls on deaf ears, and that everyone can be well attended to. One of his favorite shows to be a part of was "The Addams Family" where he was Gomez Addams!!
