“I’m Paola Sanchez Abreu, and I’m serious about that.”
Paola is an actor, writer, voiceover artist, activist, and an undercover woo girl living in New York City.
After training in Chicago, she moved to NYC and has worked on workshops and productions with New York Stages and Film, Primary Stages, New Dramatists, INTAR, Playwrights Realm, all starting after her off Broadway debut in 2017, joining the original cast of Sarah DeLappe’s The Wolves (#25) at Lincoln Center. Her TV credits include Chicago Med, Madame Secretary, The Code, and Law and Order SVU.
She has been featured in sketches produced by Jefferson White’s Means of Productions, written and performed in multiple live sketch shows, and co-created a special show entitled “Nearly Dying”, a show about laughing through our grief over everything dead or dying, which premiered at Brooklyn Comedy Collective this past year. She was a part of Gen180’s inaugural Climate Comedy Cohort, working to bring more comedy to address the climate crisis. She is currently in the conservatory program at Second City New York. She was also an organizer with Sunrise Movement NYC, and currently is involved in local street safety efforts in her community of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She is also a Pilates teacher, bringing the benefits of movement education to private clients in New York City.
Paola was a co-host and creator of Study Buddies, a podcast that breaks down research articles for the everyday person. She was also the host of The Failed Podcast Project, a crash and burn run in podcasting (surprise, it failed!).
