Hi! I'm Evie: an actor, musician, and devising artist from West Palm Beach, Florida. I'm a first generation Chinese-Russian-Jewish-American, and I've done this all my life.
As an actor, I've appeared in regional theatre, national tours, and commercials, but my proudest career moments have been in onstage adaptations of iconic feminist literature. Most notably, I played "Mrs. Hsu/Emery" in the national tour and Lincoln Center run of Parable of the Sower, a congregational opera based on the Octavia Butler novel, and I originated the title role in Orlando: A New Musical, an Off-Broadway show based on the novel by Virginia Wolff. I hold a BFA in Musical Theatre from Boston Conservatory, with an emphasis in devising and solo performance.
Currently, I'm a resident acting company member at theatre incubator Mercury Store in Gowanus, Brooklyn, where I help develop new works with artists from across New York. Alongside a career in creating innovative and diverse theatre, I'm a cultural consultant and advocate for trans, BIPOC, and disabled voices. My art activism work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Breitbart News (a story I LOVE to tell over coffee).
I live in Brooklyn with my partner Kadie and our two dogs, I'm a double Leo with a Sag rising, and you can find me on social media @evieschu.
