Taylor Kass is an actor and writer whose multi-faceted talents and interests have taken her from small-town Wisconsin to Los Angeles to London and back again. After acting in her first play at age 10 (it was a community theatre production of Beauty and the Beast), she knew she was hooked. She performed in plays and musicals throughout her childhood and teen years, studying with the world-renowned and award-winning Young Company at First Stage Children’s Theatre. Upon graduation, she decided to further her theatre training at the University of Southern California, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre (Acting Emphasis) and minors in Early Modern Studies and Musical Theatre in May 2020. Her junior year, she completed a semester of intensive conservatory acting training at the British American Drama Academy in London, where she also discovered a knack for theatre criticism. At USC, she appeared onstage, backstage, and lurking in the wings of numerous university and student-produced shows as an actor, director, musician, and dramaturg.
