about

Carly Garcia Walton is a bicoastal actor based in New York City and Southern California. Her work spans Shakespeare, musical theater, new works, and, more recently, film and television. She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in French from Rider University, where she graduated summa cum laude.

Born and raised in San Diego, Carly began performing through the competitive dance world, developing a foundation in movement and performance from an early age.

Since graduating, Carly has continued her training at T. Schreiber Studio and has increasingly focused her work on film and television, while continuing to pursue theatrical projects and new work. She is drawn to complex characters, collaborative storytelling, and work that invites audiences to see the world from a different perspective.

Carly strives to approach each project with curiosity, intention, and a genuine openness to collaborate.

“[Walton] gave a heartbreaking rendition of “Maybe This Time”, her voice tinged with the desperation of someone trying to convince herself that good things are possible, even though she clearly doesn’t believe it” - Kitty Hooker (River Cities Reader)

“Walton’s Sally Bowles was high-energy with higher emotions. In “Don’t Tell Mama”, she was fast, electric, and full of surface confidence. But in “Mein Herr”, she really locked in with alluring physicality"” - Kitty Hooker (River Cities Reader)
