KATY GERAGHTY: I think we all need to check our own prejudices. Keep asking yourself the question, like, why did I think that?

I had a patron when I was playing Tracy at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and she said something along the lines of like you are such a brilliant dancer for your size. And I just stopped her, and I just said, ma'am, you can just say that I'm the best dancer on the stage because I am. That's it.

I'm Katy Geraghty. I am an actor based in New York City. I play Little Red on Broadway in "Into the Woods," and I am here with In the Know.

Little Red was always a huge dream role of mine, and this is my fifth round playing her. My first time I was nine.
