TAY BASS
Actor | Impact Producer
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.
As an actor, my work has been seen off-broadway, national tour, regionally, on TV, indie shorts, and a few animation voiceovers. I’ve developed new works at Soho Rep, New Light Theater Project, The Tank, The Acting Company and Williamstown Theatre Festival.
In 2024, my experimental documentary short The P Word was developed by a grant through the Brown Arts Institute, where it also premiered. Later that year, I joined the documentary feature Thank You For Thinking Of Me as an Impact Producer, coordinating with national partners to amplify Deyanna Davis’s story of survival, motherhood, and community power.
When I’m not doing all that, you can catch me in the streets, JK—but sometimes I do leave my home for treats to escape existential dread.
