TAY BASS | ACTOR

Intersectionality, Joy, & Conscious-Conversation.

Hi, I’m Tay :) I’m always looking for work that captures the cathartic joy I felt growing up listening to my grandma tell stories. I want to laugh until my stomach hurts, grieve openly, take up space, and make space while engaging audiences in a big ol’ conscious conversation. I believe that all the intersections of my identity provide me with a unique vantage point as a collaborator, I strive to never shy away from the perceived imperfections of humanity and persistently lean into life's complexities!

As an actor, my work has been seen off-broadway, regionally, in indie shorts, and a few animation voiceovers. I’ve developed new works at Noor Theatre, Trinity Repertory Company, New Light Theater Project, The Tank, Williamstown Theater Festival, The Flea, and Soho Rep. In 2024, my experimental documentary short The P Word was developed by a grant through the Brown Arts Institute, where it also premiered.

When I’m not in the rehearsal room, you can catch me in the streets, JK—but sometimes I do leave my home for treats to escape existential dread.
