Kayla McSorley

As part of THD’s Friday Forum Guest Dance Artists program, Kayla McSorley will provide a guest master class called “HEELS” on Friday, September 18, 2026.

Kayla McSorley (she/her) is a French-Canadian Performer, Educator and Arts Administrator from Ottawa, ON. She is a graduate of Niagara University, NY, where she received a BFA in Theatre Performance and a BA in French. Since acquiring her degree, she has performed, taught and toured internationally accumulating a versatile skill set.

Some of Kayla’s favorite acting credits include SIX The Musical (Boleyn/Cleves/Parr), Janice (Come From Away), The Last Five Years (Cathy), Comedy of Errors (Luciana/Duke) and Julius Caesar (Brutus). Having been a teaching artist, coach and choreographer for many years, her passion for education has also led to on and off stage credits with Missoula Children’s Theatre, Artishow, The Travelling Stage, Carousel Players, Little Red Theatre and Canada’s Wonderland.

As a respected and kind professional in the field, the aforementioned experience went hand in hand with taking on administrative leadership positions such as General Manager/Art Coordinator (Pirate Life Children’s Theatre), Program Coordinator/ Instructor (International Musicals Taiwan), Coordinator of Volunteers (Ottawa Fringe Festival), Site Manager/Art Specialist (Just For Kids Buffalo) and now Executive Assistant (Theatre of Youth).

With a passion for treating artists with respect and offering equal opportunity to all, Kayla is excited to continue striving to provide memorable experiences to the upcoming and current generations of the Buffalo Theatre Community!
