BIOGRAPHY:
Bryna Kearney is an NYC based actor, director, and singer/songwriter with formal training in theatre, dance, and voice at Phillips Academy Andover, NYU Tisch ETW, and BU Tanglewood Institute (to name a few…). Her professional career began in CT where she worked with companies across the state as an actor, director, and choreographer.
Upon moving back to NYC in 2014 Bryna studied with The Simon Studio and TAP NYC. She soon found a home on stage as a regularly featured actor at The AlphaNYC, and by 2017 she was also a resident director, putting her unique spin on Shakespearian classics one season, and spreading joy with campy favorites the next. In this new playground Bryna found space for her to give actors of all skill levels an opportunity to experiment and thrive.
Since then, Bryna has worked on several large scale, main stage productions as both a director and an actor, collaborating directly with playwrights to bring their visions to life. Waste, Fraud, and Abuse [New musical from The Screaming Majority, 13th Street Repertory Theater: Co-Writer and Director], The Owl Girl [NYC premiere, The Center at West Park: Director and Lead], God Save Queen Pam [Off Broadway: Original Cast Member], Bare: A Pop Opera [Mainstage Theater, The Barrow Group: Choreographer], and Under Woodside [Director], a modern reimagining of Under Milkwood that took the pandemic in stride by touring NYC’s major parks to sold out audiences.
Lead singer/lyricist. The Ponce Funeral Home Project. 2021
