Every summer artists of all types descend upon the campus of Williams College for the Williamstown Theater Festival, and after graduating from the USC theater program, Devin Kelley was one of them. 

“Williamstown was the game changer,” Devin says matter of fact.  It was there that she first met her Manager, who later set her up with an Agent, who four months later sent her out on the audition for The Chicago Code. “Williamstown was the snowball that started it all.”

“There’s such a magic to it,” Devin explains. “They call it the Williamstown spirit. I remember the first meeting when they said that, I was like ‘that’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever heard, I don’t want to have anything to do with this Williamstown spirit, that is weird,’ and then half way through the summer I was drinking the kool aid.  I was all about it,” she laughs.“Everyone from the apprentices, to the fancy old Broadway actors that have been there for forty years are all about it. You’re doing what you love. It’s the best learning experience. You’re working your creative muscles every day, creative overload.”

It sure sounds like magic to me!  What are your favorite summertime memories?

“It’s kind of bananas!” Devin admits, about booking her series regular role on The Chicago Code during her first pilot season last year. 

“The script (called Ride Along at the time) came into my hands and it was killer, it just stood apart,” she recalls. “You read so much crap, things that don’t go anywhere and this was a beacon of light. I thought it was a little weird I’d be playing a cop. Just not something I thought of.  What twenty something girl do we see on TV wielding a gun and making it look real and gritty? That just doesn’t happen.”

She did a “chemistry test” for the role of Vonda Wysocki opposite her future co-star Todd Williams. “It was the quintessential ‘Hi, I just met you and now we’re gonna kiss and pretend we’re in love.’  We skipped nine steps; it’s every cliché I’d ever heard.” After the test Shawn pulled her aside and told her if she got this it was going to change everything. He warned her “You need to keep your head on straight because I don’t want to deal with you going all crazy Hollywood on me!” she recalls.

Devin’s Cinderella story wouldn’t be complete without her getting the phone call that she booked the show while at her waitressing job. “I was wearing a black dress and didn’t have pockets so I had my phone in my boots.  My phone started vibrating, I remember I was setting a Coors Light down on a table and I started reaching in my boot like a maniac and ran outside and it was my agent and Jill (her manager) and I just lost my mind.”
