Olivia Geimer is sunshine in a bottle.
Based in New York City, Olivia is a diverse actor with a strong mezzo belt and over a decade of dance training behind her. Whether it be story-telling through acting, singing, dancing, or writing, storytelling has always been her most pure form of expression. Always being told to “be quiet” as a girl, she hopes to empower women to find their voices unabashedly.
The Chicago native obtained her BFA in Drama from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a minor in Entertainment Business and has trained with Atlantic Acting School and the Experimental Theatre Wing. She featured her original play “The Weight of Silence” at the Bush Theatre as apart of NYU London’s Playwriting program.
She is a founding member of Frayed Knot Collective, a multi-faceted production company, with recent performance credits as Izzy in Seminar by Theresa Rebeck at IATI Theatre in NYC and Empousa/Madonna in PHROGZ by Aristophanes at AGLA Theatre in LA.
