terran is a musical theater and film actor in brooklyn. she is also a production designer, set decorator, musician and producer, but acting and singing is home.

terran’s training was unique — her traditional musical theater education went bar-for-bar with devising, development, and clown. she’s brought life to many characters in workshops, concerts and readings at NAMT, Musical Theater Factory, Joe’s Pub and NYSAF, among others. she is known and praised for her bold physical choices and extreme facial expressions. (someone recently told her she has four to everyone else’s one. hopefully not derogatorily, but who cares.)

from the dramatic ingenue Sarah in Ragtime to the deeply un-serious Curly in a new Three Stooges musical, from devised works with companies like Lightning Rod Special to full musicals like Sweeney Todd, from belting to legit soprano to busting out a saxophone, terran stretches and flexes the boundaries of what it means to be a chameleonic performer.

in 2020, terran fell into and became interested in film as an accessible art form when theater was not an option. after shooting a mammoth web series where she acted, production designed and music-coordinated, terran’s capacity for creativity expanded. she has now been on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon three times, acted in music videos and short films, co-founded a production collective, associate music directed (pray) at Ars Nova, all the while watering her musical theater development roots.

terran is a member of the Walt L. Shamel Community Garden as well as the Brooklyn Choir Project. she’s very good at bananagrams, has a 15-year old cat named Bitty and loves springtime. she keeps a kazoo on her at all times.

terran holds a BFA in musical theater from the university of the arts (RIP) in philadelphia, where she found love in strange art and theater.
