Cajun-bred, Chicago-based

Hey y’all! My name is Parker Guidry, and I am a Chicago-based genderfluid actor and performer. Originally from Lafayette, Louisiana, I moved to Chicago in 2010 to pursue a career in acting. In 2014, I graduated from Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre.​

I have a passion for storytelling with a purpose, and I am a strong believer that representation matters. The best way to open people's minds and hearts is to show them how a real and relatable human being, full of strengths and flaws, exists in the world around them.

Recently, LGBT- and queer-centric art have been the peak of my interests and the bulk of my career. Seeing how far we as a country have come towards achieving equality - as well as how far we have to go - has solidified my mission as a queer, non-binary actor to create and support art that seeks inclusivity across all spectrums.

Other interests? I am also a certified CrossFit coach at Hardware Strength & Conditioning in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. As a Black-owned, Queer-owned, Woman-owned gym, Hardware works to create an open an inclusive fitness environment that is welcome to all. I’m also a huge fan of fashion, and subscribe to the fandoms of Beyonce, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Steven Universe.

Feel free to contact me for any questions you may have. I have a very active online presence, so be sure to follow me on social media!
