Recently, I completed a reading of Macbeth at The Atlantic Theater Company Stage 2, and made my Off-Broadway debut at the Classic Stage Company as a part of the acting cohort of the 24 Hour Plays: Nationals! I played Sarah Grace in the queer-dystopian-horror short play, $$$PIG written by william o’neal ii and directed by Frances Rippy. I am a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts where I trained with the Atlantic Acting Studio and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London. While there I earned my Broadsword Combat Certification (Pass with Distinction) and played King Lear in KING LEAR. From small-town Pennsylvania (Go Birds, Go Phils) raised to chasing my dreams in New York City; I am the only and youngest kid in a family of three older brothers. I’m a Leo sun, Leo rising, and Libra moon. Lover of all things tea, Shakespeare, polaroid pictures, feminine/masculine fashion, and recently: traveling! I’m very Irish, so even the stars give me sunburn. I love to make others laugh and feel good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f44719c49fc25835526a62/bf56b3af-6a05-47d8-950e-2b0714117eb4/IMG_7844.jpg Home - My Mission Statement As a queer person who is very comfortable in my gender expression, I strive to challenge and break the mold of what it means to be a queer, AFAB actor in the industry. I want to express both my divine feminine and masculine energies into my craft and inspire others to be bold and free enough to do so too; whether that is through reimagining the classics, Shakespeare, musicals and beyond, genderbending, etc. https://www.leannerooney.com/headshotresume daily 0.75 2026-01-12
