Hey Y’all!
My name is Morgan Tapp (she/her) and I’m an actor and musician originally from St. Petersburg, FL. I’m a proud graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham where I received my BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in English Literature.
I am an artist that cultivates empathy. I aim to understand a plethora of feelings and perspectives that not only impact the art I make, but that guide my own actions as well. Unlocking empathy within oneself opens doors to communication, compassion, and vulnerability, which is always my goal when creating, whether on my own or with collaborators. Incorporating my musicianship into my work as an actor is also vital to my craft. Telling stories through and supported by music is a tradition that I am forever grateful to be a small part of and is a key component of who I am as a creative.
Currently, I’m working on Ring of Fire at American Stage. Other favorite credits include Once (Reza), Into The Woods (Baker’s Wife), Hair (Crissy), and Pink Clouds (Alice), a new play by Pulitzer Prize winner John Archibald.
But wait! There’s more…
While the arts are a huge part of my life, there are so many other special things that make up my patchwork! I love to cook, I work as a barista at a local coffee shop (I can make a MEAN cappuccino), and am an avid reader. I have a deep love for Cherry Coke, am currently on a mission to learn every Adrianne Lenker song on guitar, can put on winged-eyeliner in less than 15 seconds, and know far too many things about Star Wars.
Here’s a little peak into my life with all my favorite faces and places! Stick around and explore a little.
