Casey is the artistic director and founder of Catalyst Repertory Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Since participating in her first IndyFringe theatre festival in 2007, Ross has written and produced 15 original plays, all of which have been performed, locally, through her Catalyst Repertory theatre brand. Many of these plays have won festival awards, gone on to be produced as full-scale and/or full-length productions, and won critical acclaim throughout and outside of Indiana. While Ross works primarily as a playwright, she is also a dedicated theatrical producer and director, and has produced over 30 plays in the Indianapolis area, under the Catalyst Repertory umbrella.
Some of these productions have included, the recent 2026 critically acclaimed blackbox production of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, 2023’s IF Spotlight production of Tennessee Williams masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sam Shepard musical oddity The Tooth of Crime, Nuvo’s 2016 ‘Best Play of Indy’ winning, Equus, and a fully self re-written revival of 80s musical cult-classic Starmites! – which brought it’s 6-time Tony nominated creator, Barry Keating, to Indianapolis, for the run.
In 2022, Ross was named one of the Top Ten Performing Arts Luminaries in central Indiana by On the Aisle with Tom Alvarez. Ross also commands a variety of other skills such as, scenic painting, graphic design, conceptual design, costume design, cartooning and illustration, digital art, sound design, video editing, projections design, social media and marketing design, and production management.
