Actor & Singer
Hey there!
I’m Kayleigh.
Welcome to my website! Let me introduce myself:
I am an actor & singer based in New York City!
I grew up in Greenville, SC and I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Coastal Carolina University with minors in English and Spanish. Chants up!
In 2024, I moved to NYC, where I’ve been working and performing ever since. I love working on shows that directly correlate with our social and political climate, have killer 11 o’clock numbers, and ensembles with fully fleshed out characters.
Offstage, my favorite things are song-writing, playing my guitar, puzzles, my cat (Salem), finding new gluten free bakeries, travel and continuing my search for the best lavender oat milk latte in Manhattan (the current winner is Super Nice Coffee on 108th and Amsterdam - you’re welcome).
Thanks for stopping by - I can’t wait to work with you!
Who is Kayleigh onstage?
A young character actress with a high belt and fantastic sense for pop/rock. Alternatively, Kayleigh is a soprano with a strong and earnest legit voice, up to a high C. Kayleigh loves taking on characters with rich personalities, whether performing as a larger-than-life, brassy beltress, or a sarcastic, witty ingenue.
Whether you need a bold leading lady, or an energetic mover to hold down the soprano harmony for your ensemble — Kayleigh’s got you covered!
What's New, Kayleigh?!
