Rivkah Reyes

Rivkah Reyes (they/she, predominantly they) is a multifaceted queer Filipinx-Jewish talent hailing from Chicago, excelling as an actor, musician, comedian, producer, and writer. Their artistic journey began at the tender age of four when they first strummed a guitar. A pivotal moment in their career occurred in the 4th grade when they showcased their skills on NPR's From the Top, which eventually led to their casting in the iconic 2003 film School of Rock. This debut marked the beginning of Riv’s vibrant presence in the comedy and theater landscapes of Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

Rivkah has collaborated extensively with The Second City in Chicago, contributing to various sketch revues and showcasing their talent in improv, sketch, and stand-up performances at notable venues such as iO, The Hollywood Improv, The Laugh Factory, Club Cumming, and Las Culturistas' I Don't Think So Honey! Live. They are a proud graduate of the School at Steppenwolf, the training centers of The Second City and iO, as well as the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2020, Rivkah penned a thought-provoking article titled “Confessions of an Obsolete Child Actor,” reflecting on their transition from childhood fame to adult life. Currently based in Los Angeles, Riv enjoys sipping tea, immersing themselves in Lo-Fi music, and embracing their identity as a spooky witch.
