Katy Marquardt

I’m a Chicago-based actress. Like many performers, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that since I was a little kid, this is what I wanted to do with my life.

When I’m not acting, I’m playing piano and singing as Katy on Keys which has definitely indulged my love of travel. I’ve performed on cruise ships that traveled the Mediterranean and had the opportunity to play for our troops in South Korea. Mostly staying local now, I perform regularly at some of Chicago’s amazing piano bars.

Not traveling as much has given me the time to focus on my acting career. I recently took an Improv for Commercials workshop and Voice Over 1 class at Vagabond School of the Arts. I’m having a blast in them, but also with what I’m learning, I feel prepared for auditions and ready to work.
