ABOUT ME
"Playing the twin servants — the child-like, innocent Dromios brothers — [Stroud] and Montalbano are fine comediennes who frequently steal their scenes."
--Doug Deuchler, OakPark.com
ACTRESS
I am a Chicago-based actress with a degree in Acting from Syracuse University. I've appeared as lead and supporting roles in many indie short films and webseries, including a recurring role on Season 2 of the popular Youtube series, Apartment 101. I've spent most of my life as a theatre artist, and have performed on stages all over Chicago. Some favorite roles include Louka in Arms and the Man, Ursula/Verges in Much Ado About Nothing, Stepmother in Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, Olivia in Twelfth Night and Dromio of Syracuse in The Comedy of Errors.

STORYTELLER
Many evenings you can find me telling hilarious personal stories at Storytelling and Live Lit events. I've been featured at Universal Sound, Tenx9, We Have Questions, Is This A Thing, Pour One Out, and Story Club, among others. I am currently developing my first full length solo show. The COVID pandemic has put it on hold, but look for it next year!
TEACHING ARTIST
As a teaching artist, I have created sketch comedy and short plays with youth ensembles, as well as directed fully-produced musicals. I've also taught advanced scene study, monologue and improv classes. I specialize in private monologue and audition coaching for youth and teens. My students have been accepted to the prestigious programs at University of Illinois - Chicago, The Chicago High School for the Arts, Lincoln Park High School and Senn High School.
