Catherine
Conrad was always the class clown, partly because she loved to
make people laugh, but also to help ease the pain of not fitting
in due to a reading disability. The joy of inspiring others to
overcome their difficulties and to pursue their dreams became
a lifelong passion leading to the creation of the "Banana
Lady TM" and her side-kick monkey friend "Spike TM".
Catherine continues to enjoy her nationwide following
helping effect positive change in kids and their families with
her unique sparkle, through national appearances, books, shows,
CD's, and being a Good Will Ambassador for Health and Wellness.
Currently Banana Productions, LLC is heading up a family health
and wellness campaign called "Strong As I Can Be"
helping
kids "Eat Right and Keep Fit" utilizing the "Banana
Lady™" character and her sidekick monkey puppet "Spike™"
to make it fun and cool to be healthy. Catherine received her
Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre in 1983 from California State
University Northridge and now resides ion Madison, Wisconsin,
her hometown.
