Hello! I'm Annabelle Szepietowski (married name Martin), a native New Yorker now based in Pennsylvania.
Beginning training at a very young age, I have studied voice and music for 20 years. I graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music and Art & Performing Arts as a vocal major, and graduated from The New York Film Academy's Musical Theatre Conservatory in 2017.
During my time at NYFA, I received training in a wonderful musical theatre/film program, and had the pleasure of being taught by many brilliant teachers working in the industry, most of which are/were on Broadway.
Since graduating, I've been cast in many New York and regional productions (all credits listed in resume). I have also done some work in directing and stage managing children's productions, and assistant directing an Equity regional production.
Aside from working as an actor, I have recently received my BA in Philosophy/Political Science from the College of Staten Island, I teach voice and music theory to my students aged 6-17, I read too many books to count (favorites include anything by Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Paula McLain, Patti Smith), I love binge watching television shows with my husband (Hi Chris!), and I love visiting museums, bookstores, and coffee shops. I also dance in my seat when I eat great food.

"Her appealing sound suits both folk pastiche and the more traditionally musical-theater numbers in the score. She performs "Pretty Funny," the first-act closer that communicates Rose's anguish over Eddie's betrayal, to devastating effect."
"Annabelle Szepietowski, while not perhaps the typical choice for the character of Rose, is compelling from the first moment she picks up her guitar. Her voice is all the beauty of a Lindsay Mendez belt and a Jessie Mueller gentle twang."
"When there is a voice as lovely as Szepietowski's at the center, I guarantee the audience will lean in and listen close."
"And leading lady Annabelle Szepietowski as Rose has a melodious, mesmerizing voice. Her heart-breaking rendition of "Pretty Funny" compellingly closes the first act."
