“As youthful Sister Mary Robert, Kopulos is fueled by a phenomenal singing voice.
Kopulos delivers a moving portrait of a young woman trying to decide where her place is in life. Kopulos easily maneuvers her character between comedic and dramatic moments.
She is simply wonderful.”
-The Life and Times of Rikki Lee Travolta
About Athena
Athena Kopulos (she/her) is a Greek-American singer, actor, and dancer. Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, she still calls the best city in the world home today. Chicago credits include Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, Folks Operetta, and BrightSide Theatre. Regional credits include Cardinal Stage Company and Bloomington Playwrights Project.
Athena is a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington, where she was awarded the Catherine Feltus Preston scholarship for innovation in the arts. She is currently part of the work-study program at Visceral Dance Center and is a professional cookie decorator (no joke!).
From musicals to Shakespeare to new work, Athena is a lover of the collaborative process and of dissecting text. She does theatre because it creates a more empathetic world, and a more empathetic world is a kinder and better world.
Up Next:
Athena will be joining Shampoo Research Animal for their first production, playing Doctor in Electric Flesh Chewed Up in the Chaos Engine April 3-6.
Athena played Poole and was a part of the ensemble in BrightSide Theatre’s Jekyll and Hyde In Concert.
