Lori was born in Toledo, OH and received her
BFA in Acting from Wright State University. Right out of college,
she toured the country as a singer in a Top 40 cover band, and moved
to Chicago soon after.
She is an alumnus of the National Touring Company of The Second
City, and was honored to perform with them in Iraq and Kuwait as part
of a USO Tour in 2004. She works a great deal with Second City's
Business Communications and Theatricals divisions, recently touring with
the musical, "Sex and the Second City."
She was a founding member of The WNEP Theater Foundation, with whom
she wrote and performed in many productions; most notably, a musical
entitled "The Wicked and the Sexed" (New City's 1997 Best
Original Musical Production). You may also have seen her improvise
at "ComedySportz," and in their productions of "Blind
Date," "Whose Chorus Line Is It Anyway?" (co-creator
and director) and "Trois'." One of her favorite scripted
roles was Xena Warrior Princess in "Xena Live!"
Lori can also be heard as the lead singer for the jazz group, the
Lori McClain Trio. She was the artist-in-residence at the
University of Chicago Lab School summer drama program in 2005 and
occasionally gets to improvise with ImprovOlympics' fully improvised
rock opera, "Baby Wants Candy."
