My name is Covi.

I am a queer actress, playwright, and creative producer based in New York City.

I grew up by the beach in Southern California.

I love the ocean, site-specific theatre, my kitten Sora, and biscotti.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills as a theatre practitioner to advocate for social and environmental justice.

Headshots by Adelaide Brannan

From her first day, Freshman year to her last day as a Senior, Covi showed at once a natural talent as a writer along with an incomparable work ethic. She is also a talented actress and her experience there in addition to her experience on the production side as well, make her a very unique theater artist.
