Sophia is a latecomer to theater and musicals. She was always involved in sports, but when she joined the EHS Jazz Choir in her freshman year and had the opportunity to sing solos, she found that she loved performing! At the start of her sophomore year, she took the big jump and auditioned for “Pride and Prejudice” and she fell in love with theater hard and fast. From there Sophia went on to play both large and small roles in “Kiss Me Kate”, “Play On” and “Shrek the Musical” at EHS. She was excited to go to State singing soprano in a duet (the small ensemble category) and was also chosen as1st alternate for the solo alto category. She loves imitating voices, movements and personalities of different people.
