Kyra Renee Knox started having a passion for acting when she joined Freedom Theater at the young age of 6. She continued to follow her passion by attending the High School of Creative and Performing Arts, where she performed as a head witch in Macbeth and Agnes in Agnes of God, as well as many others. After graduating high school she was invited by Mel Williams (from the theater company Theater For A New Generation) to perform in the Off Broadway play Corner Wars. This production won the 2003 Newsday George Oppenheiner Award. She also performed with John Terrell (from the movie The Five Heartbeats) in the musical Remember The Timez. Kyra has since continued acting throughout her twenties returning to The New Freedom Theater many times. Her latest play was When the Smoke Cleared which was a part of the Philly Urban Theater Festival.
