📣Josephine Phoenix is a multi-hyphenated artist; as a musician, singer, and actor, she loves the creative process and sharing the stories that find her (along with injecting humor wherever possible). A Stella Adler alumni, some of her musical theater credits are Queenie in The Wild Party at Area Stage Theater Co and Gloria Fajardo in On Your Feet with Prather Productions. She has also toured as a backup musician/singer playing Clarinet Guitar and Percussion for Latin artists like Ricardo Montaner and Yotuel from Orishas. As a 1st generation Cuban/Lebanese/Spaniard mix, to be a part of such a project validates the beauty artistry and importance that the impact of immigration has to a city, town, country, and world.
