Hello! My name is Liam Edward Allen. I’m an equity actor with a BFA in Musical Theater from the University of Michigan with a passion for new works and stories that get at the core of what makes us all human. I moved to LA after college and during the pandemic stepped away from acting to pursue a management/executive position with a cafe/bar hybrid my best childhood friend and I got the opportunity to run together. It was a wild and educational experience, but as the years went on I felt more and more guttural longing for the opportunity to engage with my craft! Since the new year I have been diving headfirst back into the theater wherever I can find an opening. I joined AEA in January and have enjoyed getting to reacquaint with old connections and form new ones through auditioning these past few months. After much consideration , my partner and I are looking to move to the Seattle area in pursuit of a life more connected to the earth! As soon as we finalized this decision I joined TPS and began to look for any and all opportunities to find work in my soon to be home. In my free time I write songs, fiction, and poetry, and even stream competitive video games on twitch. I’m excited to start a new life in the PNW and appreciate the opportunity to submit this digital audition for consideration by many of the wonderful organizations that call the area home. Thank you for this opportunity! Looking forward to meeting and forming relationships with many of you, as both a collaborator and a patron. 🙂

I am a 21 year old cisgender white woman. I understand that my identity comes with a enabling privilege. As an actor, I crave spotlight and opportunity and new experiences, but as a human I try to constantly carry an awareness of providing space for more diverse voices and people in our acting arena.
I am a third year drama performance major at the University of Washington. I am very dedicated to my craft and give everything I have to projects I commit myself to. I consider myself a very hardworking, but playful individual who works towards a happy balance between productivity and meandering. I have been acting in the world for 10 plus years now, mostly live interactive theater. I would like to explore more film opportunities and explore more local classes in the area. I am a student at heart and crave knowledge and learning about other people and myself and acting.

I am interested in spending more time in theater and film now when my children are older and I have a flexible schedule.

As a young girl, my mother sometimes called me "Sarah." While Mom was undoubtedly poking fun at my dramatic flair — the nickname was a nod to actress Sarah Bernhardt — it's possible she also had a premonition. I began performing in plays shortly thereafter.
I made a renewed commitment to acting as an adult, graduating with Commendation Honors from the Master of Arts in Acting course at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in the heart of England. Additional training includes undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, a Shakespeare and classical intensive at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, master classes at Seattle's Freehold Theater and workshops in Seattle and the U.K.
Additionally, I served on Freehold Theatre’s board of trustees for five years.

I'm happiest on a stage, whether performing classical or contemporary plays, comedy or tragedy. I've played princes, dukes and servants, mothers, grandmothers and kooks, and even a serial killer! Some of my favorite roles have been Wanda in Durang's Wanda's Visit, Mrs. Alving in Ghosts, and Malvolio in Twelfth Night. And when I'm not on a stage, I'm busy with my spouse, friends, dog and garden.

Hey! My name is Jayvon Davis and I'm an actor born and raised in Seattle, Washington. I've been acting for just under six years and majority of my experience is in film. My hope with this application is that I can begin to cross the bridge over into theater more and more in the coming years. My interest in branching more into theater stems from the energy and size of performances that come to life when on stage. Also, the longevity that exists with characters that you play in theater (which doesn't necessarily exist in the "stop and start" nature of film.) Additionally, I love traveling, hiking, longboarding , and I'm currently learning French!
I'm a professional Actor, Singer, MC, and Beatboxer with years of experience working across the United States and Abroad. I have an enormous passion for this craft and its future, and the opportunity to return to working in the Seattle theatre community thrills me. I'm looking forward to reintroducing myself to the theatre companies, film studios, and agencies attending the UGA's and I hope we can collaborate together in the future. Thank you!

After a bit of a hiatus and re-entering the wonder-full world of Showbiz, I am currently repped at Take3Talent Agency in NYC for commercial/print/voiceover and welcoming both commercial and theatrical (film/tv/theatre) representation in the Northwest. I like to say, "You can take the Showgirl out of the Theatre. But, you can't take the Theatre out of the Showgirl." I also love yoga, working out and staying healthy (in body, mind and spirit), am passionate about living a well-pleasured life and consistently mistaken for 10-15 years younger than I really am. Fun Fact: I was asked out by Fabio in LA, in the late 90's. Here's to our mutual passion for the Arts and the joy it brings.

Hi! I'm an artist, teacher, and community activist who loves striving to make art that is activism. Most recent original projects, solo show Their Eyes Get Big and duet A Lonely Realization, explored institutional and individual responses to sex and gender based violence. That theater can be a space for sharing joy, abundance, and truth is what brings me back again and again! In Seattle, I've performed at the University of Washington, On The Boards, Macha Theatre Works, and workshopped my original show with The Shattered Glass Project. I'm a teaching artist at the Seattle Children’s Theatre and the Seattle Repertory Theatre. My other passions include building supportive community ties with unhoused neighbors, community organizing in general, book clubs, local history, house plants, hiking, and whales.
