Kaleigh Murphy
ACTRA
Kaleigh Murphy (she/they) has always found a home in performing, from when she was three years old and she made her grand debut as Flower #8 in her first ballet recital. Now a powerhouse triple-threat with a stellar comedic flair, Kaleigh aims to bring joy, honesty, and some good old sweat to every role she takes on. Her magnetic presence on stage and screen makes her stand out from the crowd and draws the audience into each story she tells.
Hailing from Waterloo, ON, Kaleigh attended Eastwood Collegiate for their Integrated Arts Program. They later trained at Sheridan College in the Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance program, graduating in 2021. Performance opportunities there included Berthe in Pippin (Theatre Sheridan), Clementine in Almost a Full Moon (CMTP Festival), Gran in Out of Stock (First Drafts), and Swing in Cabaret (Theatre Sheridan).
She decided she wanted a career in musical theatre while in the children’s chorus of Drayton
Entertainment’s Peter Pan, where she discovered you could play pretend for a living (who knew?!). She has now gone on to teach music theatre classes at the Drayton Entertainment Youth Academy; educating and empowering the youth that she was once a part of.
Fearless when facing new challenges, Kaleigh has entered multiple new facets of the industry since graduating. In 2023 they starred in their first Theatre for Young Audiences show as the titular role in Pinkalicious: The Musical. They started working on camera and took on leading roles as Nora in “What I Did For Love” and Young Liz in “If You’re Listening, Here It Is”, both produced by Unwrap Theatre. In 2022 they choreographed, directed, and starred in their first
short dance film, “Collide”.
Kaleigh’s current endeavor is working with Smile Theatre as a full-time serenader, singing all around the GTA to bring joy and connection to our most isolated citizens.
A driven and passionate artist, Kaleigh intends to walk through this industry with kindness and respect, all while being able to create and take part in impactful and high-quality art.
