Liz Kimball is an actress, singer, dancer based in New York City. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, at the age of four Liz requested that people refer to her as Sally Kimball (properly pronounced “Thally,” with a lisp), as that was more professional sounding. Born into a family of artists, Liz/Sally trained for sixteen years as a classical ballet dancer before realizing that theatre was more her artistic mate. So were chocolate chip cookies.

Liz graduated summa cum laude with a BS in English and Theatre, and a certificate in Music Theatre from Northwestern University, where she was the recipient of the Dina Peruitz Award, the Joe Miller Award and the Sarah Siddons Scholarship.

Liz has performed extensively in NYC and throughout the US. Most recently Liz played Penny in Walnut Street Theatre’s Hairspray, and the title role in Coming, Aphrodite! at the legendary La MaMa ETC in New York. No stranger to Hairspray, Liz played Amber in one of the first regional productions of the show at The Weston Playhouse. Liz has also appeared at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Kiss Me Kate, and as Jill in the East Coast premiere of Dream a Little Dream, the Nearly True Story of the Mama’s and the Papa’s at Florida Stage.

In the inaugural production of the American Music Theatre Project (AMTP). Barry Kleinbort and Joseph Thalken’s Was, Liz played the role of Angel, appearing alongside tony award winner Deanna Dunagan and directed by Tina Landau. Liz received an AriZoni nomination for best actress in The World Goes ‘Round at Arizona Broadway Theatre and is a member of the La Red Music Theatre Collective.

Liz has also performed in the 2007 New York Music Theatre Festival (NYMF), at the McCarter Theatre, the York Theatre, Marriott Lincolnshire, in numerous concerts and readings, and has sung with Deborah Gibson at B.B. King’s and on her North American tour.


Liz is a proud member of AEA (Sally was already taken).

When she is not performing Liz does yoga and writes plays.

Thanks for being here. Namaste.
