Karly Rothenberg

Karly was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and has been a theater bug ever since she was a little girl. Karly trained in both New York and Los Angeles, studying with the legendary Stella Adler, as well as studying Musical Theater at AMDA College and Conservatory of the Performing Arts in NY. She began her professional career, earning her equity card at the famed "Totem Pole Playhouse" in Pennsylvania, under the direction of the late William Putch. Karly returned to New York performing at The Light Opera of Manhattan for several seasons, and then went on to perform in various touring companies and independent projects including Roundabout Conservatory's workshop production of Three Sisters directed by Jimmy Bohr. Two years later, she met her mentor and lifetime friend, Avery Schreiber. She studied Improvisational Theater with Avery until his passing in 2001. Karly continued her Improv journey at The Second City, and I.O. West. She has worked opposite many amazing actors such as Miguel Ferrer as his quirky secretary on Lifetime's "The Protector," as well joking around with the amazingly funny Steve Carell on NBC's hit comedy "The Office," portraying the beloved,(well maybe not beloved) dock worker Madge. Karly also has a successful voice acting career working in animation, TV and radio commercials and video games. Show less «
