Hey, I'm Kailey
and I'm an actor, storyteller (stage & fight director), and educator. I'm a text lover on a mission to break down the barriers between audiences and heightened text, because big stories that tackle big questions belong to everyone.
I'm a co-founder of Mortal Fools Collective, a mobile theatre company focused on classical texts.
Born and raised in South Carolina, I hold an MFA in Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University. I'm currently a Lecturer of Theatre/Acting at Clemson University.
I like reading historical signage, bluegrass music, and guarantee to teach you (at least) one historical fact during the rehearsal process.
"...a defiant moral compass..."
"[Potter's] Julia was the production's heart."
"...an endlessly fascinating subject."
