Olivia Burgess

Hey! I’m Olivia!

I’m Olivia, an actor and writer with a passion for telling stories that interrogate the messy, morally ambiguous inner conflicts we all try to hide. I strive to create art that pushes audiences to think beyond their worldview and transform my thinking in the process. 

Growing up in small-town Ohio, I always knew I wanted to act, but didn’t have the outlet. It wasn’t until I joined my high school’s speech and debate team that my acting aspirations felt tangible. This shift lured me to NYC, which I now happily call home after earning my Drama degree from NYU Tisch and training at Atlantic Acting School.

When I’m not creating, you can probably find me sitting in a coffee shop or eating an entire pizza by myself on a night in with my roommate.
