She starred in Humble Boy for the Ensemble Theatre and alongside her father, actor Max in the Ensemble Theatre production of I Ought to be in Pictures by Neil Simon, both plays directed by artistic director of the Ensemble Sandra Bates, one reviewer stating "Cullen's portrayal as the outspoken, heartbreakingly brave young girl is magnificent. Her ability to imbue her character with a sensitive mix of fragile vulnerability overlaid by outspoken confidence is remarkable". Cullen later worked with the Sydney Theatre Company performing Brecht and for Belvoir St Theatre as Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream. In 2010, Cullen appeared in Chekhov’s The Seagull for the Siren Theatre Company. "A special mention must go to Katharine Cullen’s Masha, whose unrequited passion for Konstantin brings about some of the funniest and saddest scenes... Cullen’s vodka-soaked rant inspired well deserved spontaneous applause". In late 2010, for the Ensemble Theatre Cullen played Grace in Between Us, and also for The Ensemble played Kyra in David Hare's Skylight during July 2012.
