About Gianna
Hi! My name is Gianna (she/her) and I am an actor, singer, and teaching artist born and raised in New Jersey… where I still reside due to my undying Jersey pride. As a small child, I could often be found performing my one woman version of The Wizard of Oz - complete with costume changes - every afternoon, much to the amusement of my parents. At age 5, I started performing in community theatre and have continued learning and performing ever since.
I graduated with my BFA in Theatre from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts where I studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (London). I have had the opportunity to work on stages all over the country, with the bulk of my work consisting of musical theatre, Shakespeare, and TYA. In addition, I have worked in theme park entertainment and voiceover, and even worked as a singing waitress for a time! No matter the medium, I am passionate about collaborating with other artists, engaging with new communities in different parts of the country, fostering empathy and joy through the arts, and building meaningful relationships wherever my work takes me!
Outside of performing, I have the pleasure of working consistently as a Teaching Artist! I am passionate about helping students build confidence and self-esteem through musical theatre and acting training.
I am currently an Equity Membership Candidate (EMC). I am represented by Firestarter Entertainment.
UP NEXT: I am excited to be returning to the Utah Shakespeare Festival for their 2026 Shakespeare in the Schools Tour, playing Luciana in THE COMEDY OF ERRORS.
