Avry A.

Hi, I'm Avry, a passionate and dedicated musical theatre performer currently pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre at Jacksonville University, with an anticipated graduation for Fall 2025. I’m based in Central Florida and proudly call DeLand my home, where I continue to stay involved in the local arts community. My recent performance credits include portraying the fierce Boudicca the Warrior Queen in Well Behaved Women, a contemporary song cycle presented by Jacksonville University’s Musical Theatre program. I also had the pleasure of playing Chiffon in Little Shop of Horrors with JU’s Theater Department. Prior to that, I appeared as Calliope in Xanadu and Mrs. Medlock in The Secret Garden at Daytona State College, where I earned my Associate of Arts degree in Theatre. One of my favorite roles to date was stepping into the shoes of Sandy in Grease at the historic Ritz Theater in Sanford. Beyond performing, I love creating opportunities for others to shine. In my spare time, I’ve directed two Christmas showcases and a Valentine’s Day concert alongside my college peers, bringing live performance to the heart of our DeLand community. This past year I was a proud member of Jacksonville University's professional student vocal ensemble, University Singers. Our recent work includes a multi-day tour of Florida's middle and high schools, as well as a collaboration with the Amelia Island Opera House for a production of Madame Butterfly. Whether I'm on stage, directing, or singing in concert halls, I strive to bring authenticity, heart, and professionalism to everything I do. My goal is to continue my educational journey at UCF for their Masters program in Musical Theater Pedagogy. I love teaching and I look forward to working and inspiring new students!
