Acting.

Riley Russell has been extremely prominent in the acting and musical theatre industry, beginning her theatre career at the age of 11 by appearing at the title role in Alice in Wonderland Jr. performed at the professional nationally accredited theatre, The Kravis Center of the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach Florida. Since then she has performed in the same theatre twice alongside Darren Criss, Alan Cumming and Kristen Chenoweth for audiences of 3,000 plus during each performance. She was also seen at another professional, nationally accredited theatre, The Straz Center, where she performed in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In 2016, Russell got the opportunity to have a masterclass with world renowned theatre and opera artist, Kelli O’Hara, who told Russell of her aspiring acting career: “I would say good luck, but with your voice you will not need it”. Not only has Russell shined in the theatre community as a performer, but she also has had much success in the technical theatre field as well. She was the Props Master and Props Crew Head of the production of Kiss Me, Kate at Dreyfoos School of the Arts, where she was solely responsible for creating, finding and buying every single prop for the show all while being the leader of a crew of 13 other students. This production was set to be shown at the Straz Center.
