Hiiii

I’m a DC-based actor and singer who dabbles in sketch comedy and stand-up. I’d be a fantastic candidate for the following roles:

Feral sidekick in family-friendly musical
Talking mule in children’s show
Exhausted young southern mom
Petty villain with a catchphrase
Mozart in Amadeus

Exciting News! I got a Helen Hayes nomination for Outstanding Supporting Performer for my role in The Honey Trap!

THE MOORS

Faction of Fools | Jul 22 - Aug 10

I'm having a blast in this STUNNING regional premier. The designers and cast have brought everything they've got to this show and I'm honored to be on the team. Broadway World was kind enough to say I was one of "the show standouts" and "with a prickly personality to match the angles of the mask, she’s a lot of fun to watch." Get Tickets

DESPERATE MEASURES

Constellation Theatre

This spring, I finished up a Wild West musical adaptation of Measure for Measure as Susanna, a nun who tries to maintain her sacred vows while saving her brother from certain death. While flu season kept me from performing for critics at opening, they still thought the show was a hoot and a holler. Yee-haw!

THE HONEY TRAP

Nominated for 10 Helen Hayes Awards!

Solas Nua

This was a big one. MD Theatre Guide and UnProfessional Opinion have both said it was one of the best shows of DC's season. DC Theatre Arts said, "Ballinger is spot-on as Emily, the well-intentioned researcher who has no clue how dark and complex her subject truly is." I was deeply humbled to have my role receive a Helen Hayes Nomination for Outstanding Supporting Performer.
