My name is Holly and here is a little itty bitty crash course on me. I am from a little bit of everywhere! Born in California, I grew up moving around before ending up in my sixth state, good old New York. Much to no one's surprise, I instantly fallen in love with the Big Apple. Growing up, I explored all different hobbies from drawing to horseback riding while finding my home in theater and the people I surround myself with. With a BFA in Acting for Theater, Film, and Television from Long Island University Brooklyn Campus under my belt I focus on exploring my creativity to the fullest. My heart is to be the on on stage, but I love exploring telling a story from every aspect. I have directed and written alongside of acting which has allowed me to see scripts and characters from new angles.
When I'm not on stage or a film set you can find me jamming out to music, reading anything I can get my hands on, or exploring. I also enjoy hanging with friends and family, meeting new people, drawing/painting, and creating wild makeup looks. I am also a huge (and I do mean HUGE) fan of decorating for holidays and events that requires you to dress on theme.
I am currently in between projects. I do have a few projects in the works that I cannot speak on at this time but am super excited for and will share more when I can!
I am working on some edits to my play "7 Years." This play is something I am extremely proud of. What started as an assignment for a class I had while in undergrad, quickly took a life of its own. Before I transferred to LIU, I spend the first few years of my undergrad at the University of Florida. While there I heard of a study that said that if you can make it through 7 years of friendship, you'll be friends for life. This became the inspiration for the 7 Years. The show follows Toby, Angelica, and Hope as they navigate their 7th year of friendship, and how they navigate their friendship as dynamics change within the friend group. Is the group will lose what they have, or will they fight to keep their group together. After all they have been friends for 7 years, and Toby and Angelica have been together for 5. I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to have my play preformed and see what worked and what didn't.
I am also currently working on writing a new script with the working title "The Last Goodbye." This will be the second full length play I have written. This one follows a daughter who is going to visit her dying grandmother, while also having to see her farther she's estranged from.
