Sophia Marie Anthony
I'm Sophia
I am a motivated, straight A Senior at Northwest High School who is highly organized and always well prepared. I love being on stage and enjoy acting, singing and getting a laugh!
When I'm not at school, on stage or in rehearsals, you will find me on the soccer field protecting the net, or at home with my parents and our dog, Bingo.
What's New
2019-2020!
After playing Carolyn in The Bridges of Madison County at Damascus Theatre Company and then Eva in Sandy Spring Theatre Company's Kindertransport, I was cast as Skylar in Northwest's Production of Bring It On The Musical. What a fun and challenging role!
I have just completed 2 shows: The Free Theatre's Production of Fame the Musical, where I played Miss Sherman, and my most exciting challenge to date-
ARIEL IN DISNEY"S THE LITTLE MERMAID with the
HAR SHALOM PLAYERS!!
Last year, I was accepted into The Teen Angel Project. This troupe of performers' mission is to spread joy to those in need through song and dance. I am honored to be a part of this company and have been selected as Vocal Captain for the 2019-2020 season.
I was also invited to participate as a Cappies Lead critic this season! "The Cappies is a writing and awards program that trains high school theatre and journalism students to be expert writers, critical thinkers, and leaders. Student critics vie to be published in local media outlets by attending productions at other schools and writing critical reviews." https://www.cappies.com/nca/
We have already reviewed 2 shows this season and my review and those of my colleagues have been published!
Speaking of reviews, I was humbled to learn that DC Metro Theatre Arts included me in their list: "2018's Outstanding Performance in a Community Theatre Production" (Eva, Kindertransport) and that Kindertransport was named as an Outstanding Production! (Read more here.)
I'm proud to say that in addition to being in my Senior year in the challenging Ulysses Program at Northwest High School, I have also been inducted into the French Honor Society (now Co-President), the Thespian Honor Society (now President), the English Honor Society, the Tri M (Modern Music Masters) Honor Society
(now President) and The National Honor Society.
Additionally, I played on the NW Varsity Soccer Team, all while maintaining straight A's. (4.0/4.8 GPA)
