Farrell got her start performing as a child in New Jersey, when family members would bribe her with cash to sing ‘The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow’ at holiday parties. Though ballet will always be her first love, she discovered a knack for comedy while a student at Boston University and later moved to DC, earning her MFA in Classical Acting from the Shakespeare Theater Company Academy at George Washington University. 

Farrell has proven versatility with Sondheim, Shakespeare, and the Second City alike. As a passionate collaborator, she has helped bring to life 11 world premiere musicals and plays. She’s been seen on stage at the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage, Woolly Mammoth Theater Company, and Olney Theatre Center – among others. Her work is supported by a fellowship grant from DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
