ABOUT ME
CELERY IS THE WORST.
But you know what isn't? Bringing a smile to someone's face. In fact, it's my favorite thing to do!
My name is Addie Wray Scott, I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and for as long as I can remember I've been a performer. At five years old, my poor parents stuck me on a soccer team, where all I did was sing songs in left field (does soccer have a left field?) until those cleats found their way on stage.
Some of my favorite roles include Cinderella in Cinderella, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Williamina in Silent Sky, Mary Musgrove in Persuasion, and Julie Nixon in First Daughter Suite. Additionally, I received the Utah State Sterling Scholar winner of Vocal Performance in 2018, two Irene Ryan Acting Award nominations, and a spot in the top 10 Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Musical Theater Initiative (try saying that five times fast!) in 2022 and 2023. Throughout my career in the spotlight, however, I have found equal joy backstage as a playwright. Of my over ten 10 stage and screenplays to date, two have won awards and three have been produced, with many more in the works.
Most recently, I graduated cum laude from Utah Valley University with a BFA in Musical Theater. While there, in addition to my degree, I worked as the official Utah Valley Improv Team pianist, wrote songs for several projects, and dabbled in dramaturgy.
I've found that smiles come in all kinds, and this multi-hyphanete's goal is to keep them coming! But in my time off, I enjoy playing board games with the love of my life, watching House MD, eating Mike&Ikes, and grocery shopping longer than is socially acceptable.
I hope you enjoy my website and look forward to hearing from you!
