ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Kyle Channell, and I'm an actor, director, and comedy writer. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I have been performing for as long as I can remember. An insatiable curiosity was instilled in me from an early age, which has led me to live as a devoted academic and avid learner. This curiosity now drives me to explore new roles and create stories that will make people think. Each opportunity to tackle a new role or craft a new work is an opportunity to explore our world through new eyes. Every person holds a unique perspective, and it is through sharing these perspectives through creative mediums that we discover what makes our experiences so human. My passion for storytelling has taken me across the country and has allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. I'm excited to continue my journey and to continue to bring meaningful stories to life. Let's connect.

My Journey So Far...
My artistic training has stretched and molded me into the malleable artist I have grown into today. It has led me across borders and featured the expertise of developing artists, established industry professionals, and seasoned veterans.
UNDERGRAD - DAYTON OH
POSTGRADUATE
WORKS
2024-2025
After a fruitful audition season throughout the conclusion of my undergraduate degree, I am currently in a slew of consecutive contracts. Appearing in productions such as Into the Woods, Beautiful, Chicago, Mystic Pizza, Jersey Boys, My Fair Lady, and Waitress with theatres across the country, the coming year is full of challenging and exciting works.
EARLY EDUCATION
COLUMBUS, OH
2015 - 2019
A born and raised Columbusite, I grew up in every studio and theatre I could find. What began as participation in community theatre quickly evolved in the forms of children's theatre, student films, commercials, regional theatre, feature films, and eventually conservatory style professional training programs. Columbus will always be home, and will forever serve as the artistic stomping ground that first inspired me.
INTERLOCHEN ARTS
TRAVERSE CITY, MI
2018
With the encouragement of my teachers and mentors, I committed to refining my craft through the pursuit of more vigorous and diverse training. This led me to Interlochen Center for the Arts, where I was blessed to train with experienced industry professionals, grow with similarly invested students, and apply my work to a production of The Music Man. For my commitment to artistic excellence in my portrayal of Harold Hill, I received a Fine Arts Award.
COVID ERA
2020
During the pandemic, I used the abundance of time to explore my creative interests beyond performance. Exploring the works of some of my favorite artists, I found an affinity for writing, comedy, and direction. These endeavors marry many of my strongest skills and continue to shape me into a more rounded creative. This time also helped me grow my second greatest love in the culinary arts.
Graduation: 2024
In the pursuit of my BFA at Wright State University I prioritized diversification, collaboration, and craft. Maturing in my artistry, I was challenged to broaden my skillset and refine what I uniquely bring to the table. I have grown profoundly in my technique, sustainability, focus, and ambit. I am continuing to refine these skills as I enter this next chapter of my artistic endeavors.
