Stage - Studio - Set

Hilary P. Barry is a Los Angeles–based actor with a new Chicago presence. After an early career as a professional dancer and singer, she turned her full focus to acting, bringing the same precision, physicality, and expressiveness to her work on stage and screen. 

Known for grounded, emotionally intelligent performances with sharp comedic edge, she’s drawn to characters who are smart, a tad offbeat, and deeply human. Those who live between laughter and heartbreak. She also works in voiceover, lending her voice to commercial, corporate, and narrative work alike.

Hilary is the creator of The 1,000 Monologues Challenge, an ongoing personal project exploring character, process, and growth through one thousand monologues, from classics to contemporary originals. A living record of craft in progress.

When she’s not working, she's a bit of a homebody and loves hanging with her fam, going for a run, or fiddling in the garden.
