My Story

I discovered my passion for the arts growing up in the northern suburbs of the beautiful Windy City, Chicago. That love led me to The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where I earned my BFA in Musical Theater. After graduation, I set sail performing as a lead vocalist with Carnival Cruise Lines, sharing music with audiences from all over the world and gaining invaluable stage experience along the way.

Almost three years ago, I made New York City my home and immersed myself in its performing arts scene. Since then, I’ve performed regionally as Catherine in PIPPIN and Fiona in SHREK with Vanguard Theater Company, and appeared at venues including 54 Below, The Green Room 42, and The Cutting Room alongside Natalie Weiss. I also teach ballet and have expanded into directing and choreography, continuing to grow my work both on and off stage.

When I’m not performing, directing, or teaching, I’m usually crocheting whatever I can dream up, tending to my sourdough starter, or using my internationally certified makeup skills to glamorize friends for shows, photoshoots, or just for fun:)

“Brittany Smithson…whose voice is one of the greatest I have heard on a college stage in quite a long time.”

- Kobe Kassal, Theatre Talk Boston

“She also has a great energy. There are a lot of great voices out there, but getting the good soul to match it is the tricky part. I sensed from her that she has a soul to match her voice.”

- Kristin Chenoweth
