Ellen Pierce
About Me!
Ellen Pierce, affectionately known as “Ellen Fierce,” is a musical theatre performer raised in Raleigh, NC. She will graduate summa cum laude from the University of Oklahoma this spring, where she was honored with the F. Donald Clark Award for Excellence—the College of Fine Arts’ highest recognition for scholarship and creativity. She is thrilled to be relocating to the Big Apple in May.
A “small but mighty” presence, Ellen brings determination, precision, and heart to her work. She is known for her keen eye for detail and strong sense of timing, allowing her to thrive both as a leading lady and as a vital member of an ensemble.
She has performed at regional theaters across the country, including Music Theatre Wichita, North Carolina Theatre, and Casa Mañana, where she received a BroadwayWorld nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Sillabub in Cats.
When she’s not on stage, Ellen can be found diving into unsolved true crime cases or taste-testing her way through every chip aisle she can find. Cape Cod’s “salt and vinegar” are her favorite!
