Bobby Ayala Perez

actor – Teacher – Artist

I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a wide-ranging background in various forms of art and craftsmanship. Although I have a diverse skill set, my primary focus and expertise lie in acting. I hold an M.F.A. in Acting from Indiana University and a B.A. in Theatre from Cleveland State University. My work has been showcased in various theaters across Northeastern Ohio and Los Angeles, including Cleveland Public Theatre, convergence-continuum, the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival, and Coeurage Theatre Company. I serve as an adjunct professor of Acting at Indiana University.

My interests also extend to other artistic pursuits like filmmaking, theatrical design, carpentry, and woodworking. For those intrigued by my work beyond acting, you can explore my visual arts portfolio, which includes drawing, painting, and illustration, at www.ayalaillustration.com.
