ANNIKA 101

(ah-nih-kah)

  1. I grew up in a small town in east TN & have been acting since I was six years old when I starred as Chicken Little in a play called “Poultry in Motion”. Obviously I unfortunately peaked then and am now playing a game of catch up until the end of time.

  2. Got my B.F.A. in Musical Theatre at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN which I graduated with in the year of our lord 2020

  3. I am based in New York & am a local hire in Boston, DC, Nashville, Chicago, LA, & Cincinnati (parents love me)

  4. I am a believer in “failing gloriously” (making bold choices even if they are ‘wrong’), curiosity, text work, and finding engaging, honest connection onstage and on camera. I act because I love to feel human connection at its fullest & I love to study how to tell someone’s story. It’s challenging, it connects people in a profound way, it teaches empathy, and it’s my favorite thing in the world to do.

  5. I am a self taught visual artist, a rock climber, a barista, a guitarist, a lover of outer space, and my coffee order is an iced oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon. My favorite books are Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Once and Future King by T.H. White.

“What do you love doing so much that the words failure and success essentially become irrelevant?”

Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic
