Kailey Potter (she/her) is a South Carolina-based actor and artist with a love for heightened text and art that tackles big questions. She's passionate about finding the ways "old" plays resonate with modern audiences and stories that use history to speak to current times. Kailey also enjoys juggling multi-character show tracks, actor-musician work, and quick-raise, ensemble-directed processes.

With an MFA in Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University, Kailey works as an actor, fight choreographer, director, teaching artist, and producer.

As a Lecturer of Theatre at Clemson University, she teaches courses on acting, Shakespeare, and stage combat.

She's a big fan of historical signage of all kinds.
