About me
Taylor McKenzie is a classically trained actress with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Chemistry from the University of Southern California. She has also trained at the Carnegie Mellon Summer Program and the British American Drama Academy’s Shakespeare program, which allowed her to work with talents like Kate Burton, Don Wadsworth and Leo Wringer.
Professors at USC and CMU described her work as having the perfect amount of levity and depth. She is always bold, bubbly and brilliant. This duality is evident in projects like Sean Sawyer’s Ruri (ENIFF Selection) and Ahamid Ghamin’s Daughters of a Different Path (Toronto African American Festival Selection). Now she makes her return to the stage as Olivia in Emit Theatre's Twelfth Night.
