Meet Allie!
Allie grew up a rambunctious child
just 30 minutes outside of Philly. Although she was considered a good student by her teachers, Allie found that they were even better at being a distraction in class.
They found their love for theatre
while playing “dress-up” in daycare. She really loved making new characters and acting out stories. From there on out, Allie knew that they wanted to be on the stage- with or without the costume dresses.
She then enrolled at Rowan University to study Pre-Law .
Or… not exactly…
Allie missed theatre so much that after just a year and a half of undergrad, she auditioned and was accepted into Rowan’s theatre program.
She graduated from Rowan University with a double B.A. to her name.
Allie is also a proud teaching artist!
They have been teaching in the arts since they were 17. Whether it be through teaching concepts or directing students in scenes- Allie hopes to never stop sharing the joy of theatre to future artists.
When Allie is not on the stage,
she can be found enjoying photography (feel free to hop on over to the blog!) or reading books. She is currently on a self-described “classics binge” with her favorite book of all time being The Great Gatsby. Allie also enjoys being a visual artist and enjoys using multiple mediums for their pieces.
