Arielle is a North Shore area actor, singer, choreographer, and violence designer with credits all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
After graduating from Brandeis University with a degree in theatre arts and concentrations in acting and movement, Arielle worked for two years as the resident choreographer for Manchester Community Theatre Players and as an actor in the professional arm of the company, Second Stage. After returning to Massachusetts, she joined the cast of Cry Innocent: The People vs. Bridget Bishop in both the title role and as a swing. She also portrayed Elizabeth Oliver on The Freedom Trail in Boston until 2020.
As a violence designer, Arielle first trained with Robert Walsh at Brandeis. Her fight work includes unarmed, smallsword, staff, dagger, and firearm scenes. Arielle's more recent fight credits are from companies such as Company One, MCTP , and Amherst PTA.
Arielle co-founded the Salem, MA theatre company, The Upstart Crows. Their first show, Love's Labour's Lost, was a smashing success for public arts in Salem. In addition to LLL, The Crows produced a new translation of Punishment Without Revenge and The Winter's Tale, before the company disbanded to start other projects.
Currently, she is a cast member of T: An MBTA Musical, and an award winning cosplayer.
