Biography

BOVTS: Warwick in Henry VI: Days of Rebellion, W in Lungs, Polina in The Seagull, Viola in Twelfth Night. Pre-BOVTS: Witch/Duncan in Macbeth (Seattle Repertory Theatre), Mabel in Big Happy Days, Samantha/Maeve in The American Girl Doll Play (Williamstown Theatre Festival), Sasha in Brooklyn Bridge (Seattle Children’s Theatre), Jaqueline Bouvier in Grey Gardens (The 5th Avenue Theatre/ACT). Training: BA in American Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Theatre Studies (Wesleyan University), Acting Apprentice (Williamstown Theatre Festival, Shakespeare Intensive (Oregon Shakespeare Festival).

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
