Alyssa Laney
- Actress
Alyssa Laney's first experience on stage was performing as a flower in a children's adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. The seed was planted, but her passion for acting didn't bloom until after graduating from Western Michigan University and beginning her career in another field.
Her decision to pursue acting full force was sparked after Alyssa began participating in local acting training at the Academy of Theater Arts with Kalamazoo Civic Theater in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2023. An opportunity then arose to appear as an extra in Exhibiting Forgiveness (released 2024), written and directed by Award winning artist and Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize nominee- Titus Kaphar.
Theater was up next as Alyssa earned the role as Barbara in the play Barbecue written by Robert O'Hara and directed by Anthony J Hamilton.
Next up for the actress includes a role as a bartender in feature film Jennifer's Counsel (written and directed by Katelin Maylum) and a supporting role as a receptionist in short film Babble (written and directed by Caitlyn Shaw). Both films are still in production as of April 2024.
When not in front of the camera Alyssa also spends her time traveling, enjoying shows and spending time with her family.
