BIO
Skeggs played Muriel in Take Me Along at the Off-Broadway Irish Rep in 2008. The production was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival. That year she also performed in the musical Ripcords at the New York International Fringe Festival in August.
Skeggs played Rebecca in the Huntington Theatre Company (Boston, Massachusetts) production of Our Town in December 2012. She returned to the Irish Rep in 2014 in the musical Transport, in which she played "Polly Cantwell". Also in 2014, she appeared in the Signature Theatre Company's production of And I and Silence as Young Dee.
Skeggs was the understudy in the Off-Broadway production of Fun Home in 2013 for the roles of Joan and Medium Alison. She replaced Alexandra Socha (who departed the show for personal reasons) in the role of Medium Alison in November 2013. She reprised this role for the Broadway production in 2015, when she made her Broadway debut. Skeggs was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, and received a Theatre World Award for her performance.
In 2017, she played the role of activist Roma Guy (when young) in ABC's miniseries When We Rise (2017). The eight-part series is about the LGBT civil rights movement in the United States over several decades.
