RILEY K WEBSTER
Portland, Maine | NYC
Hey hey! I’m Riley! I am a performer and director originally from a little town north of Portland, Maine called Gray. Yes. That is correct. Gray. Like the color. I know. How joyous!
As a shapeshifter and artist on all sides of the table, I place a heavy emphasis on physical theatre and I am trained in Suzuki, Laban, Viewpoints, and Stanislavsky methods. I have a particular love for the spooky, ooky, creepy, and macabre—but above all else, my work is grounded in my commitment to feminist and queer theatre. Using both methodical structure and emotional instinct, I seek to tell stories that challenge creative boundaries, defy expectations, and amplify voices that often go unheard.
UPCOMING
Riley will be be directing the first staged production of her very own adaptation of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla at Long Island University Post as a part of her advanced independent study in directing! More to come ;)
