AMY/KING
STORYTELLER//PERFORMER
Acting - Theatre

Amy King is a classically trained actor, singer, and theatre practitioner whose work spans professional and independent stages across Canada and the United Kingdom. After completing three years of study at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, she spent a decade in Vancouver establishing herself as both a performer and an independent producer.
A recent graduate of the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (2025), Amy holds an MA in Classical Acting with Distinction. Their artistic practice is defined by courage, versatility, and a deep commitment to excellence. They thrive in high-intensity, collaborative environments and approach each project with discipline, generosity, and an enduring passion for their craft.
Amy regards acting as a transformative, empathic art form—an alchemical process capable of shifting hearts and minds. Their work is guided by a strong dedication to amplifying underrepresented voices, particularly those of women, queer communities, and other marginalized groups. They are drawn to stories that celebrate resilience and self-belief, offering audiences both reflection and creative escape.
In addition to performance, she is committed to bridging classical methodologies with contemporary relevance. They hold deep respect for theatrical tradition while championing equity and inclusivity within the creative process. For them, the theatre remains both a professional home and a guiding light—a space of continual discovery and transformation.
