ABOUT GRACE

Grace (she/her) is a Long Island native and a recent graduate at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. She earned her diploma in Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Musical Theatre and Strategic Communications, Public Relations and Advertising as well as a minor in Film & Television.

Grace caught the theatre bug when seeing Cathy Rigby fly in the air in Peter Pan and fell in love. From there on, she went onto to perform in shows and has not stopped. 

Grace is passionate about new works and sharing original stories. Last summer Grace made her international debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland with the SHU Rep. Company in the original romantic-comedy musical, Reject Me, Already!  where audiences played matchmaker and chose who fell in love each night. Grace is ecstatic to be returning again to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer with the SHU Rep. Company in the unauthorized parody musical, Crapp's River the Musical! where she will be playing Moira Rose.

Grace is also extremely passionate about the neurodiverse community and theatre for all. 

ARTISTIC STATEMENT

I believe in the power of growing empathy through storytelling. Theatre has the the mind changing ability of art to change minds, shift perspectives, and open hearts, where stories are shared and heard. In a theatre, we are universally connected, all having a shared experience, where the outside noise can be escaped.
