ABOUT
Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, Cassie was lucky to be born into a theatre family. She cut her teeth (literally, she attended her first rehearsal at 3 weeks) at her parent's theater, Lamb Productions, and credits her first role on their stage as "Stumpy" the tree stump in the kids show, Wiley and The Hairy Man, as the spark that ignited her passion for performing....she made one heck of a tree stump.
After receiving her BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul Univeristy, Cassie began her career in Chicago working with TImeline Theater Company, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, American Theater Company, Uma Productions, the Marriott Theater and many more. While in Chicago, Cassie was awarded a Jeff Award for her work as Mary in Merrily We Roll Along. Since moving to New York, Cassie has appeared at Birdland, Joe's Pub, Merkin Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, Don't Tell Mama, Ars Nova and originated the roles of Lauren and Judy in Barrington Stage Company's See Rock City and Other Destinations. In 2009 she won the New York Music Theater Festival's Next Broadway Sensation Competition which lead to her solo show "Cassie Wooley's Chimera" at Joe's Pub. She is a founding member of The New Ensemble.
