Riley Vance (she/her) is a Chicago-based theatre maker and artist with a diverse background in singing, acting, improv, and sketch comedy.

Originally from Shaker Heights, OH, Riley has explored every art medium under the sun and eventually found a home on stage, performing in everything from choir concerts to school & independent theatre productions. After moving to Chicago, she earned her B.A. in Music for Vocal Performance from Loyola University Chicago in 2017.

Riley soon fulfilled a lifelong dream by enrolling in the Second City Conservatory Program. Since then, she has had the privilege of performing at several of Chicago’s beloved venues, including Second City, iO, The Annoyance, The Newport Theatre, and soon will make her debut on the Jackalope Theatre stage October 2024.

When she's not on stage, you can often find Riley serving up lattes at her local coffee shop, catching a movie with friends, or biking around the neighborhood…and if she's off the radar, she's likely exploring nature with her closest pals. Riley is deeply grateful for the love and support of her friends and family, who are at the heart of everything good in her life.
