A little about Ellen…


Ellen Grace Diehl is a New York City-based actress and proud graduate of the Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program.

She hails from the cornfields and mountains of rural Pennsylvania and found her roots and love of performing in classical ballet at the age of four.

What was supposed to be an adorable hobby for a four-year-old turned into a life-long obsession with learning and a deep love for performing.

Now, Ellen is a teacher and choreographer of dance to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.


Ellen has a passion and deep love for musical theatre, dance, and comedy. She delights in creating and finding the humanity in out-of-the-ordinary characters: from outlandish golden-age tropes such as Ado Annie in Oklahoma to mischievous fairies like Ariel in The Tempest.


Above all, Ellen prides herself on being grounded, bringing levity, promoting compassion and professionalism, and inspiring the next generation of dreamers and artists through performance and teaching.
