I believe in making art that is both relevant and meaningful. Sparking ideas, conversations, and movements begins with an inspiration, and I think the stories we tell and the theatre we make have the power to become that impetus.
I am a New York City based nonbinary lesbian actor/singer. I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Ithaca College. I am a member of Actor's Equity. My pronouns are she/they!
CURRENTLY:
I'm excited to spend the rest of 2022 as Molly in Penobscot Theatre Company's Peter and the Starcatcher.
REVIEWS:
"Chester is an absolute spitfire as Molly, capturing the kind of fearlessness that is all the more interesting for being considered unbecoming in a young lady. She’s a crackling ball of energy and great fun to watch."
"...while Chester’s independent Molly defies the gender roles imposed on girls in the Victorian Age...the actors manage to capture their awkward, early inner teenager, especially when it comes to kissing.
