ABOUT KELLY

Kelly McLaughlin is a Meisner-trained actor as well as aerialist, dancer and writer based in Los Angeles.

After graduating from Carnegie Mellon (Public Policy & Graphic Design), Kelly worked in New York’s advertising world, while also working as a dancer and aerialist. After dipping her toes into acting classes and improv, she pursued her passion by joining the 2-year Acting program at Esper Studio in New York City.

While in New York, Kelly shot I Am Ana (selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner), headlined an immersive aerial theater show at the House of Yes, ran the Dixon Place script-incubator project TableReadNYC, and brought many dance projects to NYC stages.

She’s currently in class with Brad Greenquist and part of the Safehouse, the actor/writer collection at The Office in Santa Monica.

In her free time, Kelly loves to hike, make pottery and volunteer with animals! With a surprising arsenal of "apocalyptic and athletic skills," friends refer to her as “the person you want on your team in the zombie apocalypse.”
