About Me

Ella Johns is an actor and playwright living in the heart of Manhattan. Friends have described her as the manic pixie dream girl if she was a Southern lesbian from an alpaca farm in Alabama.

Ella has been involved in theatre since she was eight years old, appearing in four regional theatre productions at the Alabama Shakespeare Company. She went on to attend the Alabama School of Fine Arts from grades 7-12 and graduated with a Theatre Arts Major as well as serious art school trauma. During this time she was able to play Miranda in The Tempest, a role she still believes to be her perfect type cast. She is in her final semester at Syracuse University and will be receiving her Acting BFA in May 2025. During her time in Syracuse she appeared in two MainStage productions, one production with Syracuse Stage, and a semester of study abroad at the Globe in London. She also discovered her love for writing and has been selected for two film festivals and has been published online. She also found the time to be the 2024-2025 academic intern for Stowe Story Labs, a non-profit based out of Vermont specializing in Writers Labs and Retreats.

Overall her passions truly lie in Shakespeare training and film. Her first movie, The Skeleton’s Compass, premiered on AppleTV in 2022 and her most recent role was as Feste in Twelfth Night! Clips from both projects can be found in her media section.

She looks forward to hearing from you and please feel free to reach out if you want alpaca videos :)
