My name is Olivia Finkelstein! I'm an actor who also sings and dances. I grew up in Issaquah, Washington, and I graduated from Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences on Capitol Hill. Growing up, I trained everywhere I could – Village Theatre Kidstage, Redmond Academy of Theatre Arts, Icicle Creek Center for the Arts, Stagedoor Manor (NY), Broadway Theatre Project (FL), etc. Now, I'm earning my BFA in Acting from Illinois Wesleyan University, and I'll be graduating this May. I've taken classes such as Shakespeare, Advanced Scene Study, Acting for the Camera, Ballet, Modern Dance, and Videography. I've performed on the mainstage ("Airline Highway", "Appropriate", "The Wolves") as well as with the student-produced theater ("Dog Sees God", "The Blue Martini"), and I also love working as part of our sketch comedy troupe "Quickies!". Now, as I prepare to graduate and leave the comfort of my peers, professors, and campus, I'm excited to find my footing and continue my theatrical training outside of a traditional educational environment. I'm particularly excited to audition for Seattle theaters that I've attended religiously throughout my childhood and dreamed of the opportunity to participate with. I'm passionate about the ability to instill empathy through theatre. I am a person who feels very deeply, and I care a lot about the world. I want to use my voice and sense of self to portray characters in stories that need to be told. I'm looking forward to the end of February! Thank you for your consideration.

I do not have an agent and am not interested in representation
