Oonagh Kelly is an actor, playwright, and director currently based in the Chicago area.
Hello, and welcome to my website!
My name is Oonagh Kelly and I use she/her/hers pronouns. I am a Chicago-based actor and recently finished my studies at Elon University, where I earned a BFA in Acting and BA in Arts Administration.
I am an actor and arts administrator who is passionate about learning about the world around me so that I can more truthfully and effectively tell stories. This has resulted in a love of reading, travel, and random movie facts, all of which tend to make me a fantastic trivia night partner. (For reference, my family likes to call me the “human IMDb,” so if you can’t remember what else that guy from that thing has been in, I’ve got you.) My need to create art through performance and playwriting very much stems from this natural curiosity, and it continuously brings an immense amount of joy to my life.
As the designated “mom friend” in whatever room I end up in, I love meeting new people and hearing new stories, even if it is just how someone’s day has been going. In my free time, I love crocheting, performing improv, and drinking way more tea than should be humanly possible.
Thank you for taking a look at who I am and what I’ve been up to lately. I hope that you enjoy reading about my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
All the best,
Oonagh
