Acting
Hello! I'm Will DeVary. Born and raised in Kentucky, I've worked as an actor throughout the country with Actors Theatre of Louisville, Chautauqua Theatre Company, The Signature Theatre/La Femme Theatre Productions, The Schoolhouse Theater, The Cherry, Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, Queens Theatre, The Players Theatre, Ithaca Shakespeare Company, Theatre (502), and The Thread Collective. I've also toured nationally as part of Heading Into Night, a clown ode on…[forgetting] with Daniel Passer (Cirque du Soleil), directed by Beth F. Milles. In film and television, I appeared in Men Go To Battle alongside many short films and web series, and will appear in the pilot episode of Born 2 Lose. I am a proud alumnus of Chautauqua Theatre Company's Summer Conservatory and Ithaca College's BFA in Acting Program.

"Master Harold"...and the boys
The Schoolhouse Theater
“[T]he mesmerizing and indefatigable Will DeVary … squeezes every emotional nuance out of Hally in an impressively sustained performance that approaches athleticism in its disciplined exertion that never flags.”
- Bruce Apar, BroadwayWorld Rockland/Westchester​
“Watching this great play ... I wondered if there had ever been greater performances in Westchester Country than those of Will DeVary as Hally, Alvin Keith as Sam, and Devin E. Haqq as Willie.” - Alfred D'Alessandro, What To Do
“Will DeVary plays Hally with both warmth and a deep-burning rage. This is the perfect portrayal of a teenager desperate for connection and frustrated by his broken family life....He is terrific in the role.”
- Pia Haas, BroadwayWorld Rockland/Westchester​
Heading into Night
The Cherry Arts
“The spatial relationship between Passer and Will DeVary...is engaging and heart-wrenching…. DeVary plays the mysterious mover very well, providing both comedic relief and built-in set changes effortlessly...He draws attention without taking focus off Passer, which creates a strong character balance between the two.” - Lyndsey Honor, Ithaca Times
Antony and Cleopatra
Ithaca Shakespeare Company
“...[T]wo key characters were not only distinct but marvelously acted: NYC-based Andrew Ryan Perry as Antony and Will DeVary as ambitious Octavian, the new Caesar. Both men inhabited their roles thoroughly, in every gesture and expression; the struggle between these two historical titans truly came alive. Their conviction was so powerful that they carried the action...” - Barbara Adams, Ithaca Times
The Fan
The Cherry Arts
“Giannina is in love with the cobbler Crispino... performed with spot on comedic timing by Will DeVary.” - Natasha Ashley, BroadwayWorld Central New York
Henry V
Kentucky Shakespeare Festival
“And while we don’t expect to take the French Dauphin seriously, I can’t remember him ever being as funny as Will DeVary’s skilled buffoonery here.” - Keith Waits, Arts Louisville
"Meanwhile, the members of the French royal court....dismiss [Henry] as a serious threat in a delicious scene played with breezy confidence by…Will DeVary as the Dauphin (whose preoccupation with his horse is just one of the delights of this play)." - Marty Rosen, LEO Weekly
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Kentucky Shakespeare Festival
"[O]ther estimable work is delivered by...Will DeVary. All are excellent." - Keith Waits, Arts Louisville
