Abby (they/them) is a Chicago-based actor, director, and choreographer. They graduated from Northwestern University in 2025 with a BA in Theatre and a Music Theatre Certificate, and they have spent their first year post-grad acting, bartending, and exploring Chicago!

Abby is an avid reader and writer, which has undoubtedly strengthened their zeal for script analysis and heightened text. In 2024, Abby had the privilege of studying with Prague Shakespeare Company and playing Viola in their production of Twelfth Night. At NU, Abby was an active member of both Arts Alliance, a student-run theatre company, and Boomshaka, a drum and dance group. Outside of the performing arts, Abby is passionate about environmental sustainability, social justice, working with kids, and spontaneously quoting Bojack Horseman.

Abby’s recent artistic endeavors include playing Caroline in I and You, directing a new play called Rest Stop, and choreographing for NU’s largest dance show, Refusionshaka. Currently, Abby is playing Christopher Robin in Alphabet Soup’s touring production of Winnie the Pooh’s Woodland Adventure.
