My name is Izzi King, and I love theatre. I exemplify play within my artistic process, and I am a people-first kind of gal; I value human beings and their individual creativity and artistry. I bring curiosity and non-judgmental approaches to collaboration and the knowledge that I do not know everything, nor do I pretend to know everything; I think there is value in figuring things out together in the space as a creative group working together to tell a story. I want people to work with me and know that I will do my job, do it well, and offer creativity and kindness along the road.
My “brand” is bringing homemade cookies to Sunday rehearsals.
My “brand” is offering someone ibuprofen when they need it.
My “brand” supports my fellow artists, giving space freely and taking space unapologetically, encouraging others to do the same.
My “brand” is a leader who listens more than they speak.
I am an artist who loves people, loves telling stories, and wants to contribute to Chicago’s ensemble-based background in theatre and help cultivate a diverse and inclusive community.

Hey! I am Izzi, and I use she/they pronouns. I am an artist originally from Oregon, and I love nature, life, plants, and animals. Some of my greatest strengths are my amazing organizational skills and my toxic trait of thinking I can do just about anything if given enough time to learn how. I am passionate about climate change, prison reform, accessible theatre, and dismantling the late-stage capitalist society that causes extreme poverty and inequitable business practices.
I got my minor in Applied Psychology from DePaul in addition to my BFA Acting degree; I think psychology is the coolest science ever and can greatly inform the work I do as an actor, director, and intimacy coordinator.
I currently serve as the Executive Director os Sub Rosa Theatre Collective, you can view more about our mission and our work here.
I am drawn to theatre that makes me question, draws me in, leaves me hanging, and leaves me questioning. I am drawn to art that reflects and makes a statement about the world around me. I am drawn to people and places that challenge me. At the end of the day, I want to be happy and healthy and for people to say I was kind and good at what I did.
Do these ideas resonate with you? If so, let’s chat and make something together. :)
