About Me

My name is Emily Grace Allen and I'm original from upstate NY but now reside in NYC. I've been involved in theatre ever since I was called off the street to do a Christmas show at the ripe age of 6. Since then I have continued to grow and train in all varieties of styles in dance and theatre.

I'm a recent graduate of Marymount Manhattan College where I received my BFA in Musical Theatre. Though I am a performer at heart, I have also done extensive work off the stage. I have done training in every department (except sound) and has worked on many shows as a crew member. One department in particular I love is the wig department.

Previous Projects

"Emily Allen's hair and makeup work gives the characters their ideal apperance" - J. Peter Bergman

A successful opening to the 2024 season at the Mac-Haydn Theatre! Starting with a highly active show with specific styling of the 1950s. Staying true to the era and focusing on flattering styles for each actor. I had such a blast with this one and can't wait for the rest of the shows!

Heading Over to the Mac-Haydn Theatre for the Summer!

I can't wait to return to The Mac-Haydn Theatre for another great summer. This summer I'm returning as the Wig and Make-up Designer and Supervisor for the second year in a row. I get the opportunity to design all six shows this season. In addition to designing, I'm also joining onstage in the ensemble of Rent. I will also be the standby for Luisa in The Fantasticks.
