ABOUT
Kira Avolio grew up in Athens, Georgia where she performed locally in community and youth theatre. As she developed a passion for acting, singing, and dancing, Kira attended the University of North Carolina School of the Arts High School Drama program where she graduated in 2021.
Hello!
Currently, Kira is a Senior at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, with an emphasis in Directing. She is extremely grateful for the abundance of opportunities available to her at BoCo, and is particularly excited to make her directorial debut in the Spring of 2025, with her production of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe.​
Outside of performing, Kira continues exercising her creativity in many forms. She has a passion for thrifting and vintage fashion, both as a hobby and means of sustainability. Having experience as a freelance makeup artist, Kira spends time honing her cosmetic artistry. She is also a self-taught guitarist and enjoys learning and playing music.
Kira is a versatile performer with abilities ranging from classical Shakespeare text to contemporary musical comedy. As a vocalist, her high-belt range and developed head-mix voice complement both musical theatre and pop/rock styles. As a creative, Kira has an eye for aesthetics and likes to lean into the comedy of every piece she tackles. Most recently, Kira was seen on stage in the ensemble of Alice By Heart as part of Boston Conservatory's mainstage season.
UPCOMING
Kira's directorial debut will take place February 28th - March 1st, 2025 at The Boston Conservatory as the culminating thesis of her Directing Emphasis minor.
