Ian Coursey

Ian grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland singing around the house and playing baseball with his brother Connor. As he grew older, he began to train as an actor, performing in productions with educational theatre companies in the area. He spent years with The Young Artists of America, Ovations Theatre and the Good Counsel Theatre Company. When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, Ian continued to create theatre alongside many of the friends he made doing theatre in high school. Ian co-founded an educational theatre company, titled Virtual Cue. With Virtual Cue, Ian passed on his knowledge to young theatre-lovers in the D.C area who did not have the same opportunities he did, because of the pandemic. During this time, Ian also found new ways to create theatre, originating roles in online-workshops written by his best friend Daniel Seligman. Ian also picked up the guitar and began to fall in love with other aspects of musical theatre, including music direction, orchestration, and composition. In 2020, Ian began attending The University of Michigan, getting his B.F.A in Musical Theatre and a minor in music composition. At "UMich", Ian starred in several productions, including DOGFIGHT (Eddie Birdlace), and HAIR (George Berger). Ian also assistant music directed the school's production of Andrew Lippa's THE WILD PARTY under the music direction of Jason DeBord, and played saxophone in the pit of FUNNY GIRL. In 2022, Ian joined the National Tour of DEAR EVAN HANSEN understudying the roles of Connor and Jared.
