"She has the kind of star quality that you notice the moment she walks on stage."
- Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal
Zoë Laiz
Zoë Laiz (she/her) is a multiracial actor based in New York City and Western Massachusetts. She has trained at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City and Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA. She has worked professionally in NYC, regionally and internationally. Zoë is a member of the Actors' Equity Association.
While Zoë will approach any role with dedication and enthusiasm, she gravitates towards comedic roles; playing snarky millennials, ditzy optimists, lovable loudmouths and two-faced villains.
Beyond acting, Zoë is a storytelling facilitator with The Moth, an early childhood caregiver and educator, and continually explores ways to engage with the world through play and storytelling. She is passionate about collaboration, representation, and social, racial, and environmental justice. (You can read her piece on accountability in the theatre here.)
