Chalia La Tour

Born and raised in New York City, La Tour grew up with a love for the arts and began performing at a young age. She attended the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she honed her craft and developed a deep appreciation for theater.

After high school, La Tour went on to study at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where she earned a BFA in Drama. During her time at NYU, La Tour had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented artists in the industry, including director Anne Bogart and playwright Tony Kushner.
La Tour made her Broadway debut in 2018 in the Tony Award-winning play, "Slave Play." Directed by Robert O'Hara and written by Jeremy O. Harris, the play explores the complex and often uncomfortable dynamics of race and sexuality in America. La Tour played the role of Alana, a white woman who is struggling to come to terms with her own racial biases and desires.
La Tour's performance in "Slave Play" was widely praised by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times called her "a standout" and praised her "ability to convey both vulnerability and entitlement." Variety hailed her as "a revelation" and noted her "impressive range and emotional depth."
In addition to her work on stage, La Tour has also made a name for herself on television and in film. She has appeared in a number of popular TV shows, including "The Good Fight," "Chicago P.D.," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." She also had a recurring role in the critically acclaimed series "The Deuce," which aired on HBO from 2017 to 2019.
La Tour's film credits include "The Climb," a dark comedy about the ups and downs of male friendship, which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. She also appeared in "The Intern," a comedy starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, and "The Last Thing He Wanted," a political thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Ben Affleck.
Despite her success in film and television, La Tour remains committed to the theater and the power of live performance. In a 2019 interview with BroadwayWorld, she spoke about her love for the stage and her desire to continue working in theater.
"I think there's something really special about the theater," she said. "It's a communal experience, and there's nothing quite like it. You're all in the same room, breathing the same air, and there's this energy that you can't replicate anywhere else."
