Meet Campbell:

Campbell Krausen is an actor, singer, filmmaker, and writer who spends her time in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. She began acting at 7 and began to pursue it professionally at 13, landing her first acting job at The Contemporary Art Museum in Chicago.

On stage, she most recently played Petra in the regional premiere of Amy Hertzog’s adaptation of An Enemy of the People (dir. Ron OJ Parson). Other regional credits include Liesl in Marriott Theatre’s production of The Sound of Music, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and an understudy role in Steppenwolf Theatre Company's world premiere of Another Marriage, directed by Terry Kinney and starring Judy Greer.

She has many upcoming films in the works, including Rao, Dirty Towel (the feature-length version of the award-winning short), Daddy Daughter Dance, and Laura Louise. You can currently catch her in the short films Break the Cycle, Grounded Blues, and Ghost Got Your Tongue. You can also hear her voice in the hit festival film Ghostlight, or in the scripted podcast INCOMING, directed by David Singer and featuring Tracy Letts.

Alongside acting, Campbell writes and develops original projects while taking classes in screenwriting and film production at NYU. She is also a singer and musician, with a background in musical theatre and a love for music of just about every genre.

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Campbell holds community near and dear. When not performing, you can usually find her exercising her AMC a-list with her friends, painting, reading, playing piano, falling down an obscure historical rabbit hole, or getting a little too invested in the lives of fictional characters (currently Frodo Baggins. She doesn’t want to talk about it).

Campbell has trained at Margie Haber Studio, The Second City, and The Barrow Group, working with many renowned teachers, including Margie Haber herself, Paul-Jordan Jansen (star of the upcoming film Octet), Jimmy Larkin (casting director with The Tesley Office), Spencer Glass, and AJ Links (Emmy Award winner).

Campbell is particularly drawn to stories that feel fresh, layered, and deeply human. She believes the best work invites curiosity, empathy, and connection. Art has long been a source of both refuge and reflection in her own life, and she hopes to create work that offers others the same opportunity to escape, reflect, and feel a little less alone.
