Growing up, Sophie has always loved theatre and watched people act in movies. Eventually, Sophie was chosen to be an extra on the show NCIS for a soccer game scene and was called back for another episode. In 7th grade, Sophie tried out for Honk! Jr. and she got the character named Dot, a pilot for an airline to get the ugly duckling back to its home. As an 8th grader at MCA, Sophie joined the prop crew for the musical Xanadu and became the prop head assistant. In Fall of 2023, Sophie was on prop crew for the play Peter and the StarCatcher. In spring of 2024, STK put on the Musical Into the Woods and, again, Sophie was a prop member for the crew. Now, in Queens, Sophie is the character Jane Seymour and the head of the prop crew for both shows. Sophie said, “Being a cast member for the first time in high school is a thrilling experience full of hard work and dedication. You have to really connect with the characters you are portraying and find them on a deeper level in your soul to feel their story. All of the emotions they felt during their lives have been passed down and shared with me when I am on stage. It is truly a magical experience.”
