Abby Ciabaton recently graduated from Northwestern University, receiving a BA in Theatre and a Music Theatre Certificate. Over the course of their four years at NU, Abby discovered a deep love for performing, directing, and choreographing.

Abby’s passion for literature has turned them into a script analysis enthusiast – especially when it comes to 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.
