About Allie...
Born just outside of Rochester, NY, Allie has known she’s wanted to be a storyteller since a very young age. Recently, when going through the keepsakes her mother stowed away, she came across her first “novel”. A fantasy about a girl named Buttercup who goes onto defeat the Goblin King with a magical rose.
Now splitting time between Glasgow, Scotland, and the US, Allie is a playwright, dramaturg, director, actor, and writer— anything theatre or writing related, she’s there. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Marymount Manhattan College, where she spent four years studying acting, among other disciplines of theatre including playwriting. Her college career started in an immersive production of Ibsen's A Doll's House as Christine Linde. She went on to a sketch comedy club, The Dead Rabbit's Society, Director's Projects, and a Main Stage Production. Throughout the BFA program she studied classical technique, including High Comedy and Shakespeare. Favorite scene studies include Noel Coward's Fallen Angels and Richard III as Lady Anne. She went on to intern at the Pearl Theatre Company and fell in love with recreating history on stage, as well as the crossover between historical and contemporary context through storytelling.
After a break from theatre to test out corporate America, Allie decided it was time to get back into it. She applied to University of Glasgow for Playwriting and Dramaturgy. Only a few months later, she found herself flying halfway across the world and leaving NYC behind to start a new life and career in Scotland. Allie has honed specific skills throughout her program to better her own writing as well as skills to help others in their processes as well.
Additionally, Allie is an aspiring author. She will be seeking representation for her debut fantasy novel, A Sacred Wrath, next year. Further on she hopes to write in any way possible, plays, books, perhaps even screenplays or travel blogs.
If there’s a story to tell, she’ll tell it.
