A Little Bit About Kiley:
Kiley is a New York City based actress, teaching artist, and podcaster. She was born and raised in the small town of Petaluma, CA also known as “The Egg Basket of the World” and graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre with an emphasis in Performance. It was here that she cultivated a love for the classics and early realism. She fell in love with Theatre For Young Audiences while performing in the Belmont Repertory Company’s Touring show, The Frogville Skits. After graduating, she spent some time pounding the pavement in Hollywood, CA before ultimately heading out to The Big Apple to further pursue a career in Theatre.
Upon arriving in New York City, she began working with numerous studios including The Stella Adler Studio of Acting and HB Studio and continues to hone her craft by continuously taking classes and workshops in acting/scene study, voice and speech, voice over, movement, and dance. Kiley’s heart lies with the classics, works with heightened language, children’s theatre, and powerful stories that expose the juxtaposition of the absolute horror and awe-inspiring beauty that is the human existence. She’s drawn to characters that lead with intellect and empathy, but carry an undercurrent of internal conflict or unresolved history. She has worked as a teaching artist giving young children the license to explore the world and to learn through personal creativity and the arts.
Kiley has dipped her toes into the world of film by participating in a number of short films in and around the New York City area and loves collaborating with fellow creatives, which led to developing new projects, including a podcast exploring some of our greatest on-screen romances.
When not performing, Kiley can be found singing Reba McEntire songs into a hairbrush, daydreaming about the tapping feet of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, enjoying a churro and enjoying long walks down Mainstreet, USA.
