I’m Sophia Comport—a ballet-trained dancer and musical theatre performer based in Philadelphia, currently performing as Victoria in Cats at the Broadway Theatre of Pitman. I hold a B.A. in Advertising concentrating in Art Direction from Temple University.

My love for dance started when I was 2, after I saw my brother in tap class and banged on the door until they let me join (and hey—it worked!). I grew up dancing a little bit of everything from tap to jazz to lyrical, but soon fell in love with ballet at The Rock School, where I trained for 14 years with pointework, partnering, and contemporary.

Since then, I’ve diversified my dance styles at Temple and nurtured a love for musical theatre. Some of my fav credits include Pauleen in West Side Story (Broadway Theatre of Pitman), Lou Ann in Hairspray (Levoy Theatre), and understudying mersisters in The Little Mermaid (Walnut Street Theatre).

From the stage to the design world, I’m all about creative expression, storytelling, and bringing ideas to life for audiences. My performing arts background and art direction knowledge interweave to inspire my best work in performing and creating.

Fun fact: my first ballet contract was at age 8 when I got hired by Pennsylvania Ballet (now Philadelphia Ballet) to be a party girl and an angel. 😇
