While their acting resume is only a sample of their work from 2018-2022, Ari has been acting since they were 7 years old.
As the child of two performers, Ari had the opportunity to participate in fully staged productions (like The Crucible, as Betty Parris) at a young age. Ari's independent journey with acting, however, began with a youth-run Shakespeare group in 2010 where they learned the joy and playfulness of telling stories. They deepened their love of acting in middle school when they attended Oakland School for the Arts in 2012. There, they performed advanced material such as 12 Angry Jurors, and dove into script analysis. Most recently, Ari graduated from Seattle University with a double major in theater performance and gender studies with departmental honors in both. As a queer nonbinary actor, Ari is passionate about uplifting stories about the LGBTQ+ community as well as retelling classic plays through queer lenses.

Hi! I'm an artist, teacher, and community activist who loves striving to make art that is activism. Most recent original projects, solo show Their Eyes Get Big and duet A Lonely Realization, explored institutional and individual responses to sex and gender based violence. That theater can be a space for sharing joy, abundance, and truth is what brings me back again and again! In Seattle, I've performed at the University of Washington, On The Boards, Macha Theatre Works, and workshopped my original show with The Shattered Glass Project. I'm a teaching artist at the Seattle Children’s Theatre and the Seattle Repertory Theatre. My other passions include building supportive community ties with unhoused neighbors, community organizing in general, book clubs, local history, house plants, hiking, and whales.
Some of my favorite Regional theatrical roles in Seattle, LA & NYC include Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Charlotte in A Little Night Music, Woman 1 in I Love You, You’re Perfect Now Change, Martha in The Secret Garden, Madeline Monroe in the long-running Seattle production of Tony & Tina’s Wedding, Kate in The Taming of the Shrew & my one-woman show, How to Get Into my Pants. Being both a native Seattleite and an honorary New Yorker, I am bi-coastal. After a bit of a hiatus and re-entering the wonder-full world of Showbiz, I am currently repped at Take3Talent Agency in NYC for commercial/print/voiceover and welcoming both commercial and theatrical (film/tv/theatre) representation in the Northwest. I like to say, "You can take the Showgirl out of the Theatre. But, you can't take the Theatre out of the Showgirl." I also love yoga, working out and staying healthy (in body, mind and spirit), am passionate about living a well-pleasured life and consistently mistaken for 10-15 years younger than I really am. Fun Fact: I was asked out by Fabio in LA, in the late 90's. Here's to our mutual passion for the Arts and the joy it brings. KielaMellott.com is under construction and will be live by April 15th, 2024. Check back, then. 😉
