About Me!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Grace Nicole Engstrom (she/her/hers) and I am an Actor and Stage Manager currently based in the midwest. I have lived in the midwest my entire life and am currently finishing up my BFA in Musical Theatre with a Dance Minor and an unofficial Stage Management Emphasis at the University of South Dakota with a projected graduation of May 2026. Oh, and I also do some photography on the side!

Being a performer has been my dream ever since I can remember. I grew up in a very musical family who encouraged me to follow my dreams. I first made my stage debut at the age of 12 as a part of the Children's Ensemble in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at my local community theatre and haven't stopped ever since most recently performing as Kathy in Company at the University of South Dakota. 

However, performance isn't the only aspect of theatre that has captured my heart.  With the encouragement of my professors I began my Stage Management journey over a year ago Assistant Stage Managing As You Like It. Since then my love for Stage Management has continued to grow! I have since been able to Assistant Stage Manage three more productions and was the Production Stage Manager for The 39 Steps at the University of South Dakota this past spring.

Creating theatre is truly my favorite thing to do whether that be on stage or off and I can't wait to continue creating for many years to come!
