Kate JasonSmith (born 1950) is a New Zealand actor, film producer, playwright, filmmaker, photographer, and businesswoman. Based in Wellington, she has studied and worked elsewhere, including Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.[1] A feminist,[2] as a theatre and film practitioner, she has been most recognised throughout her career for her role in establishing and producing Hens' Teeth,[3][4] a platform for dozens of Kiwi female actors, musicians, and comedians that became a staple of the New Zealand theatre and comedy scene between 1988 and 1996.[5] Her short film, Xmas for Lou (1992), won the Best Drama – Television award in the New Zealand Film and Television Awards of 1994.[6] From 2018 on, the one-woman show I'll Tell You This for Nothing: My Mother the War Hero has received national and international praise for both the play, which she wrote, and her performance.[7][8][9] JasonSmith is a member of the New Zealand Society of Authors/Te Puni Kaituhi O Aotearoa (PEN NZ Inc.).[10]
