Alison Kawa with My Pet Monster

I live in Los Angeles, and I am currently looking for theatrical and commercial representation. I trained at Krater Studios with Jen Krater and Paolo Pagliacolo, and took a couple levels of improv at UCB. I write, produce, and co-star in comedy sketches.

I moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, where I studied acting with Rob Zimmerman at Beverly Hills Playhouse, trained with a private singing coach, and learned improv at Bay Area Theatresports.

I grew up in the Midwest as the middle of five kids, which is enough to give even a rock character. I was classically trained as an aria and Broadway singer in high school, where I participated in a number of plays and musicals.

My drama skills laid dormant until I joined the Weinbach musical Made in China in San Francisco three weeks before opening night in February 2013, and starred in their next production A Match Made in Hell in the fall that same year.

I also played Battle Woman in the Internet comedy series Neighborhood Watchmen, which follows superheroes in an office setting.
