Born on Long Island and raised in New Jersey, Abby DePhillips has been lucky enough to always be near Broadway. At 12, she co-created a webshow called Backstage Broadway which allowed her to interview Broadway stars. In 2014, she was crowned Miss TEEN United States, and moved to New York City to further her career in theatre. After assisting concerts, she began working at Broadway Style Guide, and later The X Magazine. She soon began work co-producing the series Pronoun Showdown. After several sold-out shows, Pronoun Showdown was able to begin touring to other cities, as well as continuing performances in New York. As a hardcore Legally Blonde the Musical fan, a career highlight was getting to produce a concert version of the show as a benefit for the Times Up Legal Defense Fund at Feinstein’s/54 Below. Additionally, just before the shutdown, Abby debuted her new concert series Broadway Breakup Playlist, also at Feinstein’s/54 Below.
In addition to her work in theatre, Abby also writes a blog on her website called The A List. She’ll also be launching an online store this fall.
In this episode, Abby chats with NYC-based actress and host Maggie Bera about paving her own way in the theatre industry.
