Hi world!! My name is Bailey Bryant, also known as Smalls to my big brother. I am a 21 year old actress based in Southern Kentucky. I am originally from Crossville, TN (it’s okay if you haven’t heard of it, no one has), but I had the awesome opportunity to move to Nashville, TN in middle school, and my life was forever changed.

Growing up, I performed in my church’s children’s choir, and watched performances, but never really found my love of theatre til I was in high school. My first ever show was Peter and the StarCatcher, and I don’t know why, but somehow being cast as “Pirate Boy” and “Bird/Cat puppeteer” made me want to perform for the rest of my life. So here I am! I now reside in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where I am pursuing my BFA in Musical Theatre at Western Kentucky University (go tops bby)

Since my captivating performance as “Pirate Boy”, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside professionals and growing artists alike for the past six years. The past couple of years, I’ve been able to grow my skills as an understudy, such as understudying for Wednesday Addams in Addams Family and Belle in Ramsey Theatre Company’s inaugural performance of Beauty and the Beast.

When I’m not onstage, I find time for my second passion… directing! I have been blessed with the chance to direct three shows already, Tinkerbell, Shrek Jr, and Lion King Jr, already I am booked to direct Pan Jr here in BG in the spring of 2025! I love seeing young artists grow in their talent and their passion for theatre.

I can’t wait to see where life leads me, and I thank God everyday for the countless blessings He has given me!
