ACTOR & WRITER
Who?
J.K Richards is an actor and writer, telling stories that are weird, wonderful, empathetic, and impactful.
Originally from rural Virginia and upstate New York, I am now based in NYC. While earning my undergraduate degree at Barnard College through Columbia University, I have performed in everything from classical Shakespeare to new murder mystery comedies.
Beyond acting, I am a composer and sound designer, as well as a producer. I write plays about strange people in very strange places. I take two sugars and oat milk in my tea.
I am actively seeking representation and work in NYC.
