Josie Dring - Who is she?
Josie Dring is a multi-hyphenate performer from Westchester County, NY. Growing up in close proximity to New York City, she had the privilege of consuming theatre from a very young age. As soon as she could walk, she was trying to twirl on her tippy-toes, and she soon as she could talk, she was singing. Josie has had the honor of portraying a wide variety of characters, including Miss Honey from Matilda, Davey from Newsies, and most recently: an angsty teen named Beth.
On the right you will see Josie performing in the 2025 Annual Fundraising Gala for The Broadway Training Center, where she spent her childhood growing as an artist.
When not performing, you may find her playing Piano Man by Billy Joel (with the harmonica), doing a handstand, or tap dancing.
Recently:
Off-Broadway Debut!
As part of the SheNYC Summer Theatre Festival,
I played the role of Beth in the new musical Wilderness! written by Rona Moriah and
Olivia Berkson. The production ran from
July 24-26 at
The Classic Stage in the East Village, NYC.
Summer Internship
This summer I worked as an associate of the
non-profit organization, Invest In Access. For two months I shadowed the American Sign Language interpreters at events such as the Tony Awards, the Jimmy Awards, and other events with The Broadway League. This internship reflects my desire to advocate for disability rights, and is a step towards getting my certification as an ASL Interpreter one day!
