Autumn received her BFA from Adelphi University in Theatre and attended London Dramatic Academy. She studied improv with Massive Creativity and is half of the improv duo Ophelia's Rope with Ruth McCleskey, with whom she also co-founded the theatre company Boiling Point Players. Favorite roles include a bunch of Shakespeare's men (plus Maria), Algernon in The Importance of Being Earnest, and Hannah in Crumbs with Boiling Point Players, Marci/Lilli in The Beebo Brinker Chronicles with Celebration Theatre, Nicole in Large Animal Games and Esther in Pollywog with Mildred's Umbrella, and Lindsay in Give/Take and Jen in Sunday on the Rocks with Cone Man Running. She is also an aerial artist and likes anything she can hang upside down on.

Meet Grace, the vibrant addition to the Melancholy cast! With an electric passion for performing, she's already made her mark on the theatre scene. You've seen her most recently as the fiery Ronnie Cooke in The Octarine Accord's The Honeycomb Trilogy and as Johnna (Don Jon) in ZSP's Much Ado About Nothing.When she's not on stage, Grace takes flight on aerial silks, rocks the karaoke scene, and even dives into mermaiding. Her dynamic spirit shines through in every role she takes on, both on and off the stage. Keep an eye out for Grace – her infectious energy is bound to light up any room.
