In 2006, Wilde was cast in a recurring role as Stacey Dillsen on the Nickelodeon hit television show Zoey 101. Although her character was originally supposed to appeared in only one episode, Wilde made such an impression that she became a frequent guest on the program.[1] Wilde appeared in the show for thirty-one episodes between 2006 and 2008. In addition, Wilde starred in several made-for-television Zoey 101 films; "Zoey 101: The Curse of PCA" (2007), "Zoey 101: Goodbye Zoey?" (2008), and the show's final episode "Zoey 101: Chasing Zoey" (2008).

In 2009, Wilde starred alongside Baywatchactor Alexandra Paul in her first full-length feature film, Family of Four, a drama written and directed by John Suits.

In 2019, Wilde joined fellow Zoey 101 castmates for an impromptu reunion, leading to speculation about a reboot of the series.[2]

As well as performing Shakespeare's plays, Wilde has also been involved in several Shakespeare-adjacent plays by new verse dramatists. A few highlights include Shakespeare's "King Phycus" by Tom Willmorth at Antaeus, which imagines a newly discovered "bad quarto" of a Shakespeare play in rhyming couplets.[7] The storyline combines several of Shakespeare's works, including King Lear, Hamlet, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar into a new ‘found’ play that is full of wordplay, double entendres and stage combat.[8][9]

In New York City, Wilde worked with Shrunken Shakespeare company on IRA in 2015.[10] Wilde also worked closely on a variety of new verse plays with Turn to Flesh Productions (TTF), which develops new plays in heightened text with vibrant roles for women and those underrepresented in classical art.[11] With TTF, Wilde originated several roles with Artistic Director and playwright, Emily C. A. Snyder, including the leading roles of Glorielle of Syracuse in A Comedy of Heirors, or The Imposters,[12] Princess Genevieve in The Other, Other Woman[13][14], and acting opposite Snyder as Margaret Ford in The Merry Widows of Windsor at the Sheen Center.[15][16] Wilde also played the role of Psyche from Snyder's Cupid and Psyche several times, as well as taking on new roles by other verse playwrights.[17][18][19]
