Meet Bailey! (she/her)

Bailey is a San Diego-based actor, singer, and theatre-maker originally from Cary, North Carolina. Bailey is currently pursuing her MFA in Acting from UCSD where she strives to bring her own special beauty to everything she does. She enjoys overcoming creative challenges and working with collaborators who ask, “what’s going to happen?”

In 2019, Bailey was a William R. Kenan, Jr. Fellow at Lincoln Center Education (LCE), where she trained as a teaching artist under the pedagogy of Maxine Greene. Her original play Prairie was produced by LCE as part of her fellowship and featured work with Cricket Brown, Coleman Ray Clark, Jamie Dawson, and Jaevon Williams.

Bailey can be seen in digital performances of The 24 Hour Plays: Viral Monologues and The 24 Hour Plays: Nationals from her time in quarantine. In 2020, Bailey received UNCSA’s The Artpreneur of the Year Award Grant, which helped fund her devised play Blue Marble, produced by her theater collective The What Co. and performed outside of a former cigarette factory in Arkansas for a limited, socially distanced audience and live-streamed everywhere.

Proud graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) BFA Acting program. Currently pursuing an MFA in Acting from UCSD.
