Welcome

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Isabelle, and I’m a bicoastal actor, singer, theater maker, and educator.

I was born and raised in San Diego, and moved to DC to pursue a BA in musical theatre from American University, with additional training from the British American Drama Academy and the actors’ apprenticeship at Portland Playhouse. I am drawn to theatre that explores huge, weird human experiences that, hopefully, have the power to connect community. I feel so grateful to work with the people I do.

I’m thrilled to be back and working in DC. With no limits in sight, I’ll let you know where I’ll be next! Let’s work together soon.

-Isabelle
