ABOUT

Sydney Marie is a performer and designer currently based in Orlando, FL.  She began singing and acting at age 10 in a local community theatre production of "The Sound of Music" and has been performing ever since. She soon found a love of the visual arts as well, landing her first painting job at age 17, assisting in large-scale murals and scenic painting. 

After growing up in multiple states across the southern U.S., she made the move west to study Musical Theatre at Oklahoma City University. There, she developed not only as an actor and vocalist, but gained a passion for the technical side of theatre - especially set design, scenic painting, and sound design.

After graduating with her Bachelor of Music, she moved to Orlando, FL after being cast as a Character Performer at Walt Disney World. While there, she began teaching private voice and piano lessons, where she discovered that she had a love of teaching. 

Over the years, she has studied music and acting extensively, and has been awarded multiple honors in both opera and musical theatre from the National Association of Teachers of Singing, YoungArts, the American Choral Director’s Association, and more. She is a proud alumna of KY Governor's School for the Arts and The American Theatre Wing's SpringBoard NYC post-graduate program. Her art and design has also been featured across the globe, on the street, the stage, and even in Cosmopolitan Magazine.  

​

She is currently the Director of Theatre at Winter Park High School, where she enjoys passing on her love of theatre to the next generation of performers.  Outside of school hours, she is a freelance illustrator and scenic artist, as well as performer. She spends her spare time reading, riding roller coasters, and going on cross-country solo road trips.
