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 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 professionally 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 iced coffee, historical signage of all kinds, and is working hard to keep her houseplants happy.
