MEET ANNA
Anna is an actor and singer based in Philly and NYC. Most recently she’s worked at the Wilma Theater, Arden Theatre, Syracuse Stage, the Fulton Theatre, and the Walnut Street Theatre. She’s a proud member of Actor’s Equity Association.
In July 2025, she participated in the Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Residency with 1812 Productions to workshop her solo piece on grief and what it means to be mothered. Stayed tuned for a full production of that piece in 2026!
Experienced with new work and devised theatre, Anna loves the creative process. Her favorite place to be is a rehearsal room.
As a teaching artist, Anna has taught in Slovakia with Dramatic Adventure Theatre, developed and taught Shakespeare and storytelling curricula in the U.S., and coaches acting and musical theatre. She currently teaches at Mister John’s Music.
Anna loves art that asks more questions than it answers. She also believes in the power of the arts as a means toward social justice, and theatre education as a means toward building community, empathy, and life skills. Anna performed in the 2-person play, Us/Them (Wijs), written about children’s perspective of school violence, with Sisters Freehold, supported by the Center for International Theatre Development.
When not performing or writing, she loves to curl up with a good book, go outside with family and friends, or buy flowers. She feels most free when she sings or is put in water.
“And in the most touching surprise of the evening, Anna DeBlasio—an understudy who subbed in for Cinderella—was simply wonderful vocally and dramatically, giving as polished and winning a performance in this major role as I’ve ever seen.”
