Behind the Artist

---

Hailey Rose Kasky started performing at the age of three and has loved it ever since. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, she trained in acting, voice, multiple styles of dance, and has over fifteen years of performance experience. She received her pre-professional dance training at LOVV the Dance Studio & Times III Performing Arts Academy, as well as private vocal training from Dr. Jennifer Barnickel- Fitch, and several summers of theatrical experience from Small Town Theatrics.

Hailey just graduated from Point Park University, where she received her B.F.A in Dance with a concentration in Jazz and a minor in Musical Theatre. Throughout her time in school, Hailey performed in dance works choreographed by Bob Fosse, Norbert De La Cruz III, Maud Arnold, Kiki Lucas, Kiesha Lalama, and Justin Myles, as well as performing in and understudying a production of Newsies directed and choreographed by Danny Herman and Rocker Verastique.

Outside of school, Hailey’s passion for theatre always leads her to the stage. Hailey just ended her contract at Cedar Point, where she has performed in four shows on Celebration Stage and been Show/Dance Captain for two. She has also performed in productions of Grease, Spring Awakening, Newsies, Jesus Christ Superstar and many more, where she was able to hold both leading role and dance captain positions. She also spent a summer touring with Missoula Children’s Theatre, where she brought the art of theatre to kids around the country. She has also explored dance on film, where she performed pieces like Scared and I Told You with Hybrid Media Productions. 

Hailey's other major passion is creating, as she most recently choreographed the first MTI production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Alice by Heart, and set her original work Requiem last fall.

Hailey loves making lifelong memories with loved ones, reading a good book, drawing, playing the piano, and spending time in cute coffee shops with a hot latte.
