“Sophie is so skilled at the quiet simple beauty moments that take us home. Like after a big storm, picking a worm up off the sidewalk and bringing it to the grass on the other side”
my name is sophie [they/them] and I am a multi-disciplinary, NYC-based artiste. when I was 10 years old, at an audition for the sound of music, they asked for people to raise their hands if anyone would play the opposite gender; and with that, I began my dedication to the arts as captain von trapp. i think a lot about the body’s relationship to being physically disabled and trans, the five boyfriends i had in seventh grade, and the magical woods of Massachusetts. i'm often found originating roles in new musicals/plays while writing darkly comedic stories. i scored a BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch, where I was deemed “boisterous in ballet” and graduated w/ an Honors Thesis in Theatre Studies because I'm a giant slut for research.
“like if the guts of Clare Barron and the poeticism of Annie Baker had an irreverent kid”
