Hi, I’m Allison!
I’m a Chicago-based actor who is all too familiar with the monstrous anxieties that can plague an artist while we are doing the work that we love.
I started The Joyful Actor to be the resource that I wish I had when I started my acting career after graduating with degrees in music and theatre and having NO idea what to do next.
I believe with ALL of my big ol’ HEART that actors and creatives deserve to be joyful in their work and create practices that are sustainable and fun―otherwise this career path is just too much.
I believe in: knowing our worth AND being a business AND $$$ smart.
