My Story

Olivia is currently living in Harlem with their beautiful partner of three years, enjoying good food and even better company, all while in pursuit of contemporary Queer works. Since making the big move in 2021, they have starred as Jen in The Cake, Mordred in an immersive Queer production of Camelot, Shannon in Hysterical!, Mary Wallace in Athena, and in the Off-Broadway company of Monstress. Olivia just closed Into the Woods as Cinderella at Short North Stage. This October, Olivia played Daphne in the new folk musical Riverbend at Emerging Artist’s Theatre Co (the first iteration being a workshop at the Dramatists Guild). The contemporary Queer piece is based on the Greek myth Daphne & Apollo. Olivia plays Rembrandt in Isabella of Boston, the album starring Tony-award winner L Morgan Lee on Spotify. Most recently, Olivia starred as Jill in the Queer retelling of the Victorian novel, Jill & Kitty, by Amy Dillwyn. Stay connected to see what’s next! A note on identity// My Genderfluidity can be uplifted while liberating my Queerness and solving your problem. Need a swing to learn both male and female tracks? A fiercely honest actor to devise a new work? Golden age singer to provide a new twist on an old piece? I’m here. I’d love to open a conversation.

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Queer

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Nonbinary

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
