A Hopeful Romantic.
Casey is a Chicago based Actor & Writer who is frankly? Obsessed with people. As a child she could be found in any number of public places, blatantly staring at strangers. Yes she is nosy. But this obsession with people, led to a curiosity about their stories. And led to a passion for telling those stories, both on the screen and on the page. She believes that telling heartfelt stories, in unconventional ways, is her most important job as an artist.
She got her BFA in Acting from Syracuse University with further training from The Second City, The Groundlings and Shakespeare’s Globe. She was creative residency finalist at SPACE on Ryder Farm in 2018 and 2019. Stage managed the cabaret “The Gorgeous Nothing’s” at Joe’s Pub. And even worked as a literary intern for The Vineyard Theatre in 2021. You can hear Casey in the audio play “God Hates the Gay’s” presented by Invited Dress and featured on Episode Three of the ‘Theater Practice’ podcast with Miriam Weiner. Last fall, she wrapped filming on short film “Vow” directed by Adrienne Weiss. She was named a finalist for Hedgebrook’s 2023 Writer in Residence program, in the screenwriting category. Her short film script “Heaven” made her a ‘Second Rounder’ at the Austin Film Festival. She performed her writing in 20x2 at Chicago’s GMan Tavern. Casey is a rom-com podcast writer for Meet Cute Inc.
Most recently, she starred in Makenzie Beyer’s “Existential Slumber Party” play as part of Rhino Festival.
