About

Hi! I’m Grania McKirdie. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.F.A. in Acting. I am also a proud graduate of the Theatre Department at The Chicago Academy for the Arts high school. I pride myself on my commitment and enthusiasm to my work as a theatre-maker. I find particular enjoyment combining my passions of art and activism, working on pieces that address the inequities and injustices of our society, and wrestling with flawed female characters. As an artist, I strive to better understand what it means to be human, celebrate both the mundane and the extraordinary, and embrace messy- something I’m always working on.
