Heather Dowling is an award-winning actress and writer who had pretended to want a "real job" since the age of 14. The comedy series DOWN THE MIDDLE that she co-wrote, produced and stars in wrapped the festival circuit and currently streams on YouTube. Heather and her writing partner Michelle Lee Barton were happy to feature Tom Bergeron, James Lesure, Devin Kelley and Daniel Montgomery in this heartfelt comedy.
On stage, Heather brought to life 50 distinct characters in her two critically acclaimed one-person shows, UNEMPLOYED. FINALLY. and FERTILE. Both shows won the PRODUCERS' ENCORE AWARD and were nominated for BEST SOLO PERFORMANCE at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2015 and 2019. The two shows were also selected for the prestigious L.A WOMEN'S THEATRE FESTIVAL and were deemed BEST OF FEST at SOLOFEST, the largest solo theatre festival on the West Coast. Both were also selected to be part of UNITED SOLO, the largest solo festival in the world, on 42nd Street in NYC.
On the heels of her solo success, Heather started coaching for Soaring Solo Studios. She directed 5 shows that gathered 5 award nominations in the 2022 Hollywood Fringe Festival. One of the shows she directed and developed, Asexuality: A Solo Musical! won the TOP OF FRINGE and BEST PREMIERE.
Currently, Heather is bringing her love of storytelling and colorful characters to life with her audio book narration. She's the voice of the mama bear fiercely protecting her loved ones. She's the best friend gently talking you off the ledge - or nimbly getting you out of trouble. And she's the last boisterous cheer on the way out the door at closing time.
