BIO

Reilly currently lives in Chicago, IL. She's a great lover of doing too much and is currently taking a big ole rest. Their current focus is healing from a rare bone tumor that broke their femur in January. This wouldn't be possible without the unending love and support of her darling software developer named Alex. She is in the middle of moving more slowly than expected through her MFA in Acting from DePaul University, and just achieved her MA in International Theater Practice and Performance from Rose Bruford in 2021. As an actor and maker, Reilly is passionate about creating a truer and more beautiful world through connection, ownership, and bravery. She's interested in work about motherhood, faith, and friendship. They are committed to uplifting traditionally othered communities with love, reverence, and joy.

WHAT I MAKE

I am an actor through and through. But I think I want to uncover more of my creative voice beyond building characters/plays. I'm interested in making books, poems, movies, and music. I'm also interested in making a really well-rounded life.

EXPLORING:

I've been wanting to write a book of essays and poems for a while now. About working in jail, about the pandemic, about healing. But I also have a one-person show tickling the back of my brain too.
