GETTING TO KNOW YOU
I'm Tay, I love to make stuff. While I'm a regular Film/TV and Theatre actor, I also love to sing, dance, write, direct, film, and edit. I'm also an aspirational activist- so I'm always moving towards meaningful growth, and positive change. Some causes important to me are redistributions of resources to help end socioeconomic inequality (community service to others and mutual aid specifically), gun/justice reform, and intersectional feminism. I'm also a sucker for exposed brick! (That's neither here nor there- but I really wanted to paint the picture for you.)
Growing up in Boston with a heaping spoonful of ambition, a dash of talent, and just a sprinkle of self-deprecation, meant acting was in the cards pretty early on. I'm an animal lover, an earth advocate, and I love roller skating and confessing meaningless secrets (example: I regularly pretend to like almonds). Collaborating is a passion of mine, so I'm really excited that you're here. I work really hard, and I'm really good at what I do.
So make yourself comfortable! Allow me to whip up a cocktail of self-promotion, along with a garnish of enthusiasm, and an anxiety spritz, and I'll just let you sit back and relax. Is that jazz music? Ah, just in time. Let the healing sounds of Charlie Parker and Chet Baker take you away from what's turning into the most jarring bio I've ever written. *kisses fingers* Mwah!
HEY, YOU!
thanks for being here :)

"The two leads, Connor Hough and Taylor Karin, were picked out of hundreds of hopefuls to be in the film."
Produced by Compassion Entertainment, this cautionary tale is important viewing for everyone curious about how IP theft works and how devastating it can be.
- NTD Network
"Taylor Karin is lovely as Belle.
Her performance is storybook perfect. Karin’s Belle is spunky, resilient, smart and kind. (The 7-year-old guest all but swooned.) Then there is her voice, which is a perfect match for all the iconic songs."
- Seacoast Online
"Karin takes the role of Belle with a fresh perspective...
"After each and every show, you can find Karin walking through the crowd, talking with and hugging children. [She] greets each child who wishes to make a connection with Princess Belle, and [makes] a personal connection with them."
- EDGE Magazine, Rose Correll
"Karin is every bit the kind, intelligent Princess...
"She recognizes that every child is different, so she tries to match their personality while creating a special moment for them. From idolizing Belle herself as a child, to playing her on the Prescott Park Stage, [Taylor] Karin is every bit the kind, intelligent Princess that she portrays."
- EDGE Magazine, Rose Correll
"Her wonder and amazement is charming and infectious...
"Taylor Karin as Miranda, Prospero’s daughter, [is] as sweet but far luckier than The Bard’s doomed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Karin marvelously portrays the girl who has encountered no other human being but her father since she was 3. Her wonder and amazement is charming and infectious."
- Bangor Daily News, Judy Harrison
"A strong performance and a powerful voice...
"The talent continues with Taylor Karin as Holly...bringing [a strong performance and a powerful voice] to the stage."
- EDGE Magazine, Jeanne McCartin
