Bonnie

Born and raised on the gritty streets of Manhattan, Karin brings an inner strength and a bit of New York attitude to every part she plays. With a radiant smile and piercing gaze, on screen roles range from bad ass boss to down to earth Mom. Cast as a liberal elite Mother in Showtime's SMILF, recurring roles as a sardonic EMT in Paragods and the wise-cracking best friend in Lily of the Valley, Ms Trachtenberg always gives honest, bold performances.

A classically trained actress, Karin has tackled such major roles as Hamlet's Polonius, King Agamemnon in Iphigenia in Aulis, and even performed in Latin as the Devil in Hildegarde Von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum. When she isn't busy breathing life into the drama of the great dead playwrights, Karin enjoys collaborating with contemporary writers to bring new works to the stage.

Praised for her professionalism and facility with language, Karin is an experienced voiceover and narration actress. Always working on her craft, she is studying with legendary voice and Shakespeare coach Patsy Rodenburg to become a registered Rodenburg teacher. She also trains with acting coaches Tim Phillips and James Dumont.

Having spent summers in Zurich with her maternal Grandparents, Ms Trachtenberg speaks Schweizer-Duetsch and has dual Swiss/US citizenship. She lives in New England where she raised two talented young adults. When she isn't on stage, set, or in the audio booth, you can find Karin practicing on the yoga mat.
