Kyra remembers performing onstage for the first time at five years old. 

In a red dress and tights and flats, she made her stage debut as one of the Cratchit children in a musical version of A Christmas Carol. From then on, she has wanted to share stories. 

​

She grew up on a small farm in rural upstate New York, milking cows and riding horses and singing with her family. Her love of acting blossomed throughout her high school years, during which she pursued performance opportunities on both school and regional stages, and then followed her to Yale University, where she double majored in Evolutionary Biology and Theatre Studies. She graduated magna cum laude with distinction in both majors and a continued passion for performance. 

​

Kyra now lives in Manhattan. Her theatremaking experience, across both plays and musicals, encompasses a broad range of genres, styles, and characters. She loves a Shakespeare soliloquy just as much as a Broadway power ballad; she has played the villain, the bubbly sidekick, and the emotional heart of the show. She is also an experienced collaborator in the creation of new work. ​​

​

Kyra is passionate about connecting with others through performance. She believes that acting is the practice, the expression, and the ongoing affirmation of our fundamental humanity.
