Kailey Potter (she/her) is an actor and artist based in South Carolina 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, women-driven narratives, and any story that uses history to speak to modern times. Kailey also enjoys juggling multi-character show tracks, actor-musician work, and quick-raise, no-director processes.

With an MFA in Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University, Kailey has worked professionally on a variety of projects 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. 

While not performing or grading, you'll likely find her reading the nearest historical marker.
