Born and raised in Bermuda by Irish and Italian American parents, Olivia was exposed to varied cultures and cultivated an appreciation for the different viewpoints that have shaped her. When cast in a Bermuda production of Lionel Bart’s musical Oliver! at age ten, her passion for theatre was ignited. She became very focused on training as an actor, ballet dancer, and singer. Since her family moved to the United States, she has been grateful to train alongside other equally serious artists at the Boston Conservatory, NYU Steinhardt, MPulse, and Walnut Hill School for the Arts.

 

At the University of Michigan, where she graduated with high honors and had the privilege to receive her BFA in Acting and Performance (with English minor), Olivia broadened her intellect and expanded her acting beyond theatre, collaborating on many student films and receiving a grant to produce and act in the Sam Steiner play: Lemons, Lemons, Lemons. “I chose this play because it explores the important role that language plays in our society and how censorship can impact our ability to communicate and maintain relationships.” Olivia Luisa Sinnott

 

When she is not performing, Olivia is playing with her cats, journaling, thrifting and dressing up. She now lives in NYC, where she is currently in the process of auditioning and living the dream.
