“Act before you think - your instincts are more honest than your thoughts.”

— Sanford Meisner

Introducing Kacie Swaffield

Kacie Swaffield is a New York-based actor who found her love for acting at 11 years old when she began learning Meisner-based techniques from a student of Sanford Meisner himself.

In her small Arizona town, working in class was the only thing that really made her feel purpose and find her truth. She was certain she wanted to continue her education after high school.

Upon acceptance into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, she, along with her three cats, packed what they could fit into her PT Cruiser and moved to New York. After graduating from the program, she was accepted into the Academy’s prestigious NY Company. Her credits include Masha in Dying For It, Boggett in Phoebe in Winter, and the titular character Macbeth. She was most recently a part of the North American premiere of The Pelicot Trial. She is very excited to be playing the part of Best Friend in Molly Stern’s newest production of Who’d Love Lucy.
