A theater lover for as long as she can remember, Sophia saw her first Broadway production at the age of 3 and has been acting, singing, and dancing ever since. For her 5th birthday, she begged her parents for a red velvet curtain to hang in the basement to use as the stage curtain for the shows she and her friends would put on for anyone willing to watch! Sophia’s been appearing on professional stages since the age of 11 when she played Tina Denmark in RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL. She went on to play a number of timeless roles, such as Scout in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, Amy in LITTLE WOMEN, Fern in CHARLOTTE’S WEB, Dorothy in THE WIZARD OF OZ, Katherine in NEWSIES, Sister Mary Robert in SISTER ACT, Liesl VonTrapp in THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

Although she loves bringing the classics to life on stage, some of her most challenging and rewarding work has been in presenting new works. In the world-premieres of both KALEIDOSCOPE and WITCH, Sophia witnessed first-hand the power of theater to open the audience’s eyes to social injustice and the plight of others. She was honored to make original cast recordings with the casts of KALEIDOSCOPE and WITCH and hopes those recordings will make it easier for the shows’ important messages to reach communities beyond Washington, DC and New York. More recently, Sophia starred as Jan/Karen in the off-off Broadway production of WATCHER IN THE WOODS, book and lyrics by Douglas Thompson, music by Johanna Telander, and directed by Chase Kniffen at Urban Stages. She was also featured in industry readings of THE STORE UNDER THE PORTICO, written by Robert and Cristina Farruggia, directed by Paul Masse, and HARD ROAD, written by Willy Holtzman, David Spangler and Marty Dodson, directed by Jackson Gray.

Sophia trains in voice, acting, jazz, ballet, and tap. She’s currently a BFA Musical Theater candidate at Pace University, Sands College of Performing Arts, in New York City. In her free time, Sophia enjoys spending time with her friends and family, thrifting, hiking, reading, travelling, and cheering on her theater friends in their shows!
