Hey there, my name is Morgan Burkey.

 

Hello!

Thank you for taking time to visit this website to get to know me and my work. I am an actor based out of Chicago with experience in Theatre, Film and Television. I have been in Chicago for 10 years, having moved here on a whim from Texas. I started out as a scenic artist, with a love of painting and technical theatre.

The largest leap in my acting career came from the School at Steppenwolf training program, graduating with the class of 2017. While there, we received training in Meisner through Black Box trainers Darci Nalepa and Audrey Francis, Viewpoints, taught by Ashley Neal and Jonathan Barry, Improv, taught by Susan Messing and Michael Patrick Thornton. Other teachers included Kate DeVore (Voice) Monologue and audition prep (Madeline Lambert and Alana Arenas) and Text Analysis (Leah Karpel and Tim Hopper) I have also taken training with Chicago Shakespeare Theatre with Kevin Gooduhl, Actors Studio Chicago, Second City, and Greenroom Studios.

Recent Credits include (Theatre) Griffin Theatre Company -Letters Home, Remy Bumppo Theatre Company - Dear Elizabeth, Loop Players - Trojan Women, First Folio Theatre - And Neither have I Wings to Fly, (Commercial) Several spots with Reel Paws Productions, CLIFF Bar. (Film) The Reception directed by Will Crouse, The First Date directed by Will Crouse, Unearthed, written by Addison Dent and directed by Brandon Smith.

When I am not acting, I work as a Broker with Fulton Grace Realty, I paint with Watercolor, and I am currently working on a license to teach yoga.

I hope to paint not only what I see, but what I think will tell the truest story.
