Career

Cathryn "Cathy" Sullivan began loving the craft of acting as a teenager doing speech tournaments and lead stage roles in high school, college and community theater. "I took professional classes for several years from many teachers, but I never felt like I was being taught how to "GROW" as an actress. I finally found one brilliant and gifted teacher who really knew how to teach actors how to improve their craft. After taking from him for three years, three times a week and working in the film industry for a while, I became his partner and began teaching film and TV seminars to adults and children".[1] She taught in Coppell for 9 years teaching at Everybody Fits, then opened her own studio in Lewisville, Texas. Every year, there are several of her students who begin reaching their dreams. Because of this, she has students who come from all over the country to take her classes (Wisconsin, Miami, Kansas, Chicago, Virginia, etc.) and even the world including Thailand and China!

Cathryn coaches children, teen actors and young adults and has taught many stars (all who've taken from her for several years) that include Demi Lovato (X-Factor, Won Emmy for guest-star on Grey's Anatomy, Sonny with a Chance, Camp Rock),[2] Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place, Romona, Monti-Carlo, Princess Protection Program),[3] Thomas Mann (star of Project X, Beautiful Creatures),[4] Madison Pettis (Life With Boys, Corey in the House, Game Plan),[5] Jackson Pace (a regular in the Emmy & Golden Globe-award winning "Homeland"),[6] Logan Henderson (Big Time Rush) & Cody Linley (Hannah Montana, Dancing with the Stars, Hoot) and continues to stay in touch with all of them-even today.
