Ally Short
Singer/Songwriter || Actress || Multi-hyphenate Artist
​​Hello!
​​I'm Ally (she/her), a singer, songwriter, and actress based in both Brooklyn and Long Island, NY.
Outside of performing, I am a huge Snoopy enthusiast, occasional baker, and a lifelong SpongeBob lover. Overall, I'm someone who is always looking for new ways to stay creative!
​​Growing Up
​​
Even as a toddler, I was a natural-born performer. Full of drama, energy, and imagination. I seized every chance to sing my heart out, whether it meant strumming a guitar twice my size, turning a frying pan into a banjo, or tap dancing on a Wii Fit board.
No matter the stage, real or imagined, I was always ready to put on a show.​
​
The first time I performed solo in front of an audience was in the second grade, where I sang and played the piano blindfolded.
That moment sparked my love for the stage and ignited a lifelong passion for performing. By sixth grade, I joined the ensemble of Aladdin Jr. and that's when I truly caught the acting bug. From that point on, I immersed myself in every production my schools had to offer, driven by deep enthusiasm for storytelling and character work. Today, I am a proud senior at Molloy University / CAP21 on track to earn my BFA in May of 2026, and I'm more passionate than ever about pursuing a life in the performing arts!

My mission as an artist and actor is to serve humanity with integrity and purpose. In a world saturated with noise, the true power of acting lies in our ability to carve out moments of stillness, spaces where audiences are invited to reflect, to feel deeply, and to contemplate the human experience.
​
This world is starved for meaningful stories, for bold new works and transformative experiences. I am committed to telling the kind of stories that resonate beyond the
moment, telling tales that will echo through time.
​
​
Our work demands vulnerability. It demands authenticity.
It demands that we tell the truth.
​
We enrich our craft through relentless journeys of self-discovery, we break down walls, transcend barriers, and offer the world the experience it craves to feel alive.
​
To be a true actor is to wrestle with the duality of
ego and selflessness.
​
We surrender to the demands of a character while holding on to a sliver of our individuality. It is a dance with vulnerability, a courageous unveiling of the soul. In this act, we become mirrors that reflect a collective consciousness back on society with clarity and conviction.
