Hi, my name is Giovanna Martinez, and I'm a singer, dancer, actor, and songwriter based in Berea Ohio, and Los Angeles California. My journey into the world of theater has a twist to it. Originally, I set out to be a professional ballet dancer, having studied at the Colburn School and the School of American Ballet. However, my plans took a turn when I fell in love with the magical realm of musical theater. Now, I'm navigating this creative path with passion and excitement. 

I'm currently a freshman working towards a bachelor's in Music Theater at Baldwin Wallace University and I plan to move to New York City upon graduation

Outside of the spotlight, you'll catch me soaking up moments with friends and family, channeling my creativity and life experiences into writing original music, painting my nails, filming a get-ready with me on TikTok, or rewatching La La Land – yes, for the 100th time and counting!

Some roles I'd love to portray on stage one day include, Nina (In The Heights), Queenie (The Wild Party), Maria (West Side Story), Natasha (Great Comet), Anastasia (Anastasia), Satine (Moulin Rouge), Louise (Gypsy), Julie Jordan (Carousel), Natalie (Next To Normal), Dot (Sunday in the Park With George), Mimi (Rent), Sally Bowles (Cabaret).

I'm tirelessly dedicated to honing my craft, striving to craft performances that are not just entertaining but truly impactful. My aim as a performer is to elicit a profound emotional response from every member of the audience. I want people to leave the theater transformed, carrying with them a sense of change from the moment they entered. In the words of my mentor Damien Lorton, “It's bigger than you”.
