Gillian Stoltz is an Atlanta-raised and New York City-based actor, singer, and dancer. At the ripe age of two years old, her parents saw that she might be suited for something that makes a lot of noise, and stuck her in a tap class in a small studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two years and many slow cramp rolls later, her family moved to Marietta, Georgia, where she grew up dancing in a studio company. 

​

In high school, she made the choice to switch to theatre full time, and it was around sophomore year when she realized she really liked making people laugh — shoutout to her high school's production of Disaster! for allowing her to be forever known as "the girl who played the gambling nun." ​This fascination took her through a completely virtual college audition process in the Fall of 2020, and in March of 2021 she decided that orange and blue would replace her school's maroon and gold — she would be heading to Syracuse!

 

Four years and many objectives later, she just graduated from Syracuse with her Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, and also receiving a minor in Public Communications Studies. She was a part of mainstage and small scale productions, made her professional debut with Syracuse Stage, helped to run the department social media page, and ran Marketing and Social Media for Black Box Players, a student-run producing organization. She is leaving Syracuse with fondness and gratitude, but with total giddiness for the road ahead!
