Toni Watterson

TONI is a high-energy storyteller from Cleveland, Ohio, currently residing in New York City. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a BA in Theatre Arts & English in 2022 and has continued her training at the British American Drama Academy, HB Studio, The Barrow Group, and ARG Studio.

 

WITH a strong stage presence and infectious enthusiasm, Toni takes great joy in playing endearing ditzes, headstrong schemers, and fiery underdogs. Driven by a desire to experience everything and entertain everyone, she moved to Manhattan at the age of 22 with little more than a suitcase and a bagful of books. She has since found a rich community of generous, talented performers in The Department of Fools, a clown troupe, and The Snarks, a women's theater company based in Murray Hill.​

 

SHE has a deep appreciation for misunderstood characters who beat incredible odds, knowing the greatest wins are those hardest won.​

 

WHETHER at the PIT Loft, the Amateur Comedy Club, or prowling the streets of Little Italy in a traditional commedia mask, Toni throws herself into every role with the eager curiosity of someone who knows there's always more to learn.​

COME see her as Evelyn in Phil of the Future is an Ethical Nightmare at Caveat and The RAT, October 17-18 & 24-25!
