Abigail Smith

Scenic Designer and Teaching Assistant: Adult Technique Class

Abby has been an actress all her life. However, she just thought it was multiple personality disorder until she took an acting class at Cornell University (where she was studying Architectural Design) on a whim. Realizing she had discovered a hidden passion she sought out the Actor’s Workshop and has been addicted ever since. A graduate of the Workshop Abby is also a performing member of the Wing Space Theater Co. and the Left Wings Improv Comedy Troupe. She has starred in numerous film projects, ranging from IC student works to a feature-length film with an independent filmmaker in NYC. A designer by nature, and by training, Abby worked in Cornell’s Schwartz Center’s costume shop for the entirety of her Cornell Career and has since designed and created costumes, props, and sets, for several seasons at Ithaca’s Kitchen Theatre Co. For money Abby works for Vertical Access LLC, where she puts her architectural background to good use rappelling down buildings.
