Actor & Singer

Kayleigh Rose Howard

Hey there!

I’m Kayleigh.

Welcome to my website! Thanks for stopping by. Let me introduce myself:

I am an actor and singer based in New York City!

I grew up in Greenville, SC and I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Coastal Carolina University with minors in English and Spanish. Chants up!

In 2024, I moved to NYC to pursue professional performance. I am so excited to see where this next chapter takes me. I am extremely passionate about pieces of theatre that directly correlate with current political issues, especially as a queer woman.

Offstage, my favorite things are playing guitar, hanging out with my cat, Salem, finding new gluten free bakeries, puzzles, and continuing my search for the best lavender oat milk latte in Manhattan (the current winner is Super Nice Coffee on 108th and Amsterdam - you’re welcome).

Who is Kayleigh onstage?

A young character actress with a high belt and fantastic sense for pop/rock. Alternatively, Kayleigh is a soprano with a strong and earnest legit voice, up to a high C. Kayleigh loves taking on characters with rich personalities, whether performing as a larger-than-life brassy, beltress, or a sarcastic, witty ingenue.

Whether you need a bold leading lady, or an energetic mover to hold down the soprano harmony for your ensemble — Kayleigh’s got you covered!

What's New, Kayleigh?!
