Allison Pistorius (30s/early 40s, white, female) is a classically-trained actress who is exceptionally skilled with comedy, accents and dialects, and sophisticated dialogue. She brings warmth and vulnerability to each character, and joy to each project. She is a strong singer (Soprano, range G3-C6) and a fitness enthusiast with a passion for Pilates and her Peloton bike. She wishes she had paid more attention in Geography class so she would have won her episode of Jeopardy!
