In various interviews, Courtney has spoken about her love of performing. She told lohud.com that the theater was an early obsession, stemming from frequent family trips to Broadway, including the time she was inspired by a young Kevin Kline's performance in The Pirates of Penzance. After seeing that show, she decided she wanted to be an actress, telling Cosmpolitan, "By the time I got to middle school, we did a play a year, and I was in all of them. In high school, we did a fall and a spring musical, and I was always in one of those. I would even show up to rehearsals I wasn't supposed to be at. I loved everything about it, and I was never bored by it."

After graduating from college, she studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City for two years. During that time she worked odd jobs and went on a ton of auditions, eventually landing a gig with Theatreworks USA, which is how got into the stage actors union. From there, it was the typical working actor's grind—more odd jobs, auditions, and small parts—until she made her way out to Los Angeles.
