Oh, hi!

I am Kenedi Chriske (pronounced Kennedy Chris-key) - an actor, singer, writer, and producer.

As an avid user of American Sign Language, I am especially passionate about fostering an accessible, inclusive theatrical community, especially within Artful Voices Theatre Company!

Outside of all of those interests, I dabble in surfing, hiking, and photography.

I hope this site can allow you to get to know me as an artist & collaborator. Let’s do this!
