What They're Saying
Theatre
“At the heart of my play No Roses is Kendall Rivera, who commands an audience flawlessly with confidence, humility, and a spark to be envied! Professional, smart, and bright, she is not only a phenomenal performer but a sharp-minded creative. To have her on our stage is a privilege and an honor.”

Musical Theatre
​"Kendall was a standout in my musical Grow. Overprepared, fearless, and endlessly generous in the room, she brought star power and sharp storytelling instincts to our 29-hour workshop. She shines on stage and raises the bar for everyone around her."
-Jordan Knitzer
Film
“Kendall brought so much nuance and brilliant subtlety to her role in my NYU thesis film, Margin of Innocence. She was incredibly kind to work with, and everyone on set was blown away by her raw talent at such a young age. I hope to work with her again very soon!”
