Director

Sofia has been directing plays and musicals since 2008. She is drawn to stories about women and is a champion of radical access to theatre spaces for both artists and audience. From classics to new-work, she always places the story and playwright's vision at the center of the work to create a non-hierarchical and collaborative environment. Sofia enjoys mixing puppetry, video, music, dance, and other performance methods into her work. 
Sofia is an MA/MFA candidate in the Theatre Education and Applied Theatre program at Emerson College.

What others have to say:

"Sofia is one of the most organized, hardworking, and trustworthy theatre artists that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. If you need to count on someone to get a job done well and on time, Sofia is absolutely the person that you should work with!"

    -David Hanzal, Artistic Director, Collective Unconscious Performance

"Sofia is a smart, empathic, and intuitive director. She is always in control of the room while allowing everyone involved to feel heard and respected. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again."​ - Bethany McHugh, Actor

"The project I worked with her on tasked her with bringing a philosophy heavy text to life with a cast of varied experience. Galloway never abandoned advocating for all the richness of the text to make the job easier for less experienced performers and never let her desire for rigorous, well made art force her cast beyond what they could handle. She created a team that was focused on helping each other achieve as much as they were capable of in honor of the text. That is exactly the sort of person I would trust my art in the hands of, either as a writer or a producer." - Travid Bedard, Actor

I, The Dysmorphic Dysphoric

Reinventing the Wolf

Reinventing The Wolf: a little red tale about big gray areas

Sorrel's friends know weekends are for wine, essays are for later, it's easy to spot a monster in the woods, and there's a clear line drawn between "yes" and "no." Sorrel isn't sure about anything at all. Inspired by the often fraught conversations surrounding sexual assault on college campuses and consent in a hookup culture, five women explore why it’s so hard to distinguish between ‘yes’ and ‘no.’

"...a superior aspect of the genre..."

- Womb with a View

"an ambitious show... demonstrates why the kind of conversations that shows like this engender are so critical."

- Jay Gabler, The Tangental

"This is why we see theatre: To see our stories on stage and know we're not alone. Fascinating writing, seamless direction, powerful female ensemble." - Audience Review

"A show with the courage to hold back" - Audience Review
