The Life of Riley

Growing up in the Piedmont Region of VA with formative years spent both on the beaches of South Carolina and Central Florida left Riley with a lasting love of nature, animals, and the magic of planet earth. A career in acting was the logical progression to a lifetime spent in willful participation in and awe of the grand performance of life. After earning a BFA under Shenandoah Conservatory's Meisner-based curriculum, Riley moved to the city and began a continued scene study under the coaching of Bradley Fleischer. Riley has been seen in the New York City Fringe Festival, and at various off-broadway venues in the city including THEATRE 71 and the Theatre at St Clement's, as well as in more intimate spaces such Pushkin Hall and East Village Basement.

When not performing for others, Riley artistic directs and acts for Snow Dance Corp., a queer-led acting troupe producing original and classical work in Manhattan.
