Hi, I’m so happy you’re here

I’m Colby! I am an actor, singer, dancer, model, libra, and most importantly, plant mom.

I received my MFA in Acting this year from the University of California, San Diego’s prestigious program at the La Jolla Playhouse, which is consistently ranked one of the top 5 MFA Acting programs in the country. I am also a proud Richmond, Virginia native and graduate of Howard University’s Musical Theatre BFA program.

Other important facts about me: I like to frequent the same five restaurants in rotation. I love to do anything active like skating or rock climbing. If I could spend my entire day dancing, that would be heaven.

BROADWAY’S JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING NATIONAL TOUR

β€œColby N. Muhammad takes on three characters each with head-spinning and often riotous versatility.”
— The Washington Post
β€œPlaying at least three characters Colby N. Muhammed [was] spectacular. Showcasing nuanced versatility, [she] played some of the most outrageous, exuberant, and scene-stealing roles to my immeasurable enjoyment. ”
— Medium, UnProfessional Opinion
β€œPerhaps the most fun that both Bioh and White have with this entourage comes in the form of the clients who patronize Jaja’s. Taking on multiple customer roles, Colby N. Muhammad shines as a snobby classmate of Marie’s, an overly curious bystander, and a whiny, albeit utterly exhausted, client who proceeds to fall asleep in the chair. [Colby and Melanie] provide the lion’s share of the comedy.”
