About Me

YELLOWBELLYPHOTO-BONNIELANGTHORN-10.jpg

I am an American actor based in London and a recent graduate of LAMDA's MA Classical Acting program. I also sing, dance, write, and direct. When I am not performing or creating I teach LAMDA exams and work 1:1 as an acting coach. I am heavily influenced by the classics and am drawn to adaptations and reimaginings in my work.

 

BACKGROUND

I’ve been a performer my entire life, starting

early in ballet and eventually finding my way

to the theatre. My mother is a former Broadway

performer-turned-choreographer, so there was

no escaping this life for me; not that I ever

wanted to. 

In 2018 I received my BFA in acting from the

University of Houston. Shortly after I worked

professionally in the Houston theatre scene as an

actor and dialect coach, a skill I was able to

develop while in school thanks to mentors Sara

Becker and Jim Johnson.

 

Notable roles from my time in Houston include

Marya in The Government Inspector at Classical

Theatre Company. I also collaborated with friends

and former classmates on two productions, led by

Carmon Alexander, including a seven person

Midsummer Night’s Dream and an intimate,

contemporary adaptation of Hedda Gabler

 

In 2021, in the midst of Covid-19, I moved to

Chicago to take the next step in my career. I also

made the decision to pursue a masters degree

during this time, ultimately choosing LAMDA.

 

LAMDA

LAMDA pushed me in every way to become a better artist, studying Meisner, Chekhov, Linklater, voice and text, political speech, clown, mask, and many other techniques while also working on some of the most challenging plays I've ever come across. I also wrote an incredibly personal 20 minute one woman show for my thesis project, a piece that was well-received by my peers and mentors and something I plan to continue working on in the future. During this year I developed my leadership skills by working as a student rep for my course, communicating with both staff and students to help ensure a conducive work environment.

LONDON

I graduated from LAMDA in 2023 and since have performed in musical theatre cabarets, scratch nights, and rehearsed readings in London. I have also directed and produced and am a founding member of the LAMDA Alumni Company.
