Hi! I’m Sophia Comport—a ballet-trained dancer and performer based in Philadelphia, currently performing as Pauleen in West Side Story 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 discovered a love for musical theatre. Some fav credits include The Little Mermaid at Walnut Street Theatre, Beehive at Grand Theatre, and Fiddler on the Roof at Ritz Theatre Co.

From the stage to the Adobe Suite, I’m all about creative expression, connection, and bringing ideas to life. 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 9 when I got hired by Pennsylvania Ballet (now Philadelphia Ballet) to be a party girl and angel. 😇
