Molly Dougherty
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Molly earned her BFA in Acting at Elon University, fulfilling her Honors Thesis by writing and starring in an original play. She studied at the Accademia dell’Arte in Italy and at Groundlings and UCB before finding a home at JRS in 2018. Teaching at the studio is an exciting way to marry her love of acting with over a decade of experience as an academic tutor. Working with students has given her invaluable insight into how to meet people wherever they are in their process and to celebrate every win, no matter how big or how small. An avid reader and developing writer, Molly loves breaking down a script to find clues that help elevate story.
