About Brianna
Brianna is a New York City-based actor and singer whose work is rooted in emotional honesty, rigor, and a belief that storytelling expands empathy and sparks change.
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts and Political Science from Vanderbilt University, where her studies in performance and advocacy intertwined, shaping her perspective as both an artist and citizen. She is an MFA Acting candidate at the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University and will graduate in 2026.
Her work is grounded in Lee Strasberg Method Acting and informed by training in complementary techniques for voice and movement, including Linklater voice work and Laban, Pure Movement, Butoh, and Clowning in movement.
She enjoys collaborating on the development of new work. Her most recent work includes originating the role of Younger Louis in Extinction by CJ Baer with Powerhouse and Theatre East.
When not acting, you can find her drinking tea and curling up with a good novel (bonus points for enemies to lovers) or casually rearranging her furniture at 11 p.m. one random night — a more common occurrence than one might think.
