Alyssa Enita Stanford
Theatre Artist


Hi everyone, I'm Alyssa!
​Born and raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Alyssa found her love for performing from the most influential girl group of our time: The Cheetah Girls. After spending most of her high school experience preparing for a degree in Global Health, she took a leap of faith and went for the thing she loved: musical theatre. Alyssa has spent her last four years at Penn State University earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre with Honors.
After graduation, Alyssa set sail on Norwegian Cruise Lines playing Duckling Donna in SUMMER: The Donna Summer Musical. She traveled throughout various countries in Europe and parts of the Caribbean. In 2024, Alyssa portrayed Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Choc Factory (Arrow Rock Lyceum) and Little Eva/Shirelle #4 in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Asolo Repertory Theatre).
Outside of performing you’ll find Alyssa rating her new favorite book, going to a chapter meeting for her sorority (OOO-OOP!), listening to Motown hits on her record player, and ranting about her favorite reality tv shows (currently Married to Medicne).
