Bio

Ellen Mimi is a New York City based theatre artist, arts educator, and communications professional whose work lives at the intersection of performance, politics, and community.

 

She is passionate about creating accessible arts education and programming that invites people of all ages and backgrounds into the creative process. She currently serves as a teaching artist and Program Coordinator with Broadway Bound Kids, where she fosters creativity, confidence, and collaboration through theatre-making.

​

In the past, she has taught with Ursuline Academy (her alma-mater), Delaware Theatre Company, & Delaware Children's Theater. 

 

As both an artist and arts administrator, she aims to create work that not only entertains but also sparks dialogue about the political systems and social structures that shape our lives.

 

A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, she holds a BFA in Drama, BA in Politics, and MA in Arts Politics. She trained at Playwrights Horizons Theater School and Atlantic Acting School, grounding her artistic practice in ensemble collaboration and political inquiry.

 

Her performance credits include Hamlet (Red Bull Theater, Shakespeare in Schools), Dinner with the Headmistress (The Tank), RENT (New Light Theater), and Holy Agony (Playwrights Horizons Downtown).

 

Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, her love for theatre began in local community productions—a foundation that continues to inspire her belief in theatre as a collective art form that belongs to everyone and exists all around in the day to day.
