GET TO KNOW ME

I'm McKenna, and from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been drawn to the arts from a young age, everywhere from singing to writing stories. Over the past 10+ years, I've trained in theatre, singing, and acting at various top performing arts schools and academies!

 

Fast forward to present day, I plan to continue acting in tv/film, onstage, and behind a mic (& hopefully even write some of it in the meantime). I'm super passionate about what I do, and hope it can make a difference---even if it's simply putting a smile on someone's face or tugging on their heartstrings! <3

TIMELINE

HOW IT STARTED

2014-2016

After trying my hand at multiple hobbies, instruments, and even training with a youth choir in Pittsburgh for two years, I finally landed on theatre one Summer - I decided to give it a shot at a musical theatre academy in Pittsburgh and quickly fell in love with it.

HIGH SCHOOL

2016-2020

After training in theatre for a few years, I enrolled into Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School, kickstarting another chapter of my life in the theatre.Throughout high school, I performed in 9+ productions in their union-level theater! i graduated in 2020 with multiple honors in the arts, including being inducted into the International Thespian Society and the National Honor Society of Dance Arts.

COLLEGE

2020-2024

Throughout my years working towards my BFA in Musical Theatre at The Boston Conservatory, I took various classes in acting, voice and speech, and dance. Among these courses, my favorite quickly became film acting, propelling my love for on-camera work and collaborating with students at surrounding universities to act in their films!
