Rachel Kay
Actor. Dancer. Singer. Artist.
about me!
Hey there!
I'm Rachel Kay (they/them), a bicoastal actor,
dancer, singer, and creative.
Originally from Manhattan Beach, California, I grew up in the dance studio. All the styles were cool, but something about musical theatre dance classes took hold of my heart. Telling a story, whether it be
during those classes or at the dinner table after,
is what I really loved.
I was fortunate enough to attend the Syracuse Musical Theatre BFA program from 2016-2020. One of my favorite experiences from Syracuse was producing and acting in a production of Dry Land.
It is a play that tackles self-induced abortion, the
queer female experience, and bullying head on.
I spent (most) of my last semester at the Tepper Semester in New York City until the pandemic hit. Following graduation, I moved back home to LA and began working at lululemon. Through a remote audition process, I was able to book the national tour of Escape To Margaritaville as a part of the ensemble and an understudy to Tammy. Since then, I've been hoppin around pretending I know how to be an adult! Sometimes regionally, sometimes on tour,
and sometimes in New York City.
I pride myself on being a multi-hyphenate, always creating and in search of collaboration. I am in the process of writing a one person show and look forward to performing that in the near future. I also find immense joy in creating my “dance monologues,” a form of self expression that aims to combine verbal monologue and dance improv.
Art has the power to shift hearts and minds.
That is the kind of art I aim to make.
