Hi, I’m Sophia Ellis. I’m a theatre-arts performer and teaching artist with a passion for storytelling, music, and community-building. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre with an Acting Concentration and a Music Minor from the University of Alabama, where I trained in conservatory-style acting, voice, movement, and directing. I’ve performed in university productions and led theatre-focused programs, while also building experience in teaching, marketing, and social media. Beyond the stage, I enjoy mentoring younger artists, creating engaging content for studios, and blending performance with digital storytelling to connect people and communities. I’m excited to grow as a practitioner who can fuse acting, music, and education to bring powerful stories to life both onstage and online.
