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, on television, in indie shorts, and a few animation voiceovers. I’ve developed new works at Soho Rep, New Light Theater Project, The Tank, 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.

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.
