About me

Anita Sophia Somogyi came into this world bearing strange initials, born (not-so-)straight into the heart of Vienna (Ottakring 1997). After finishing high school she spent two years on a Canadian island to study the Christian Life (voluntarily). Upon her return in 2020, her broke ass went off to study the Acting Life at the Zurich University of the Arts.
During the third semester she was happy to guest at the City Theater in Constance. Her fourth semester she spent back home, pioneering the Erasmus-programme in Acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar where she was trained by Emily Cox and attended the directing class of Martin Kušej.
Her self-written monologue about Mental Health, Christian Rap and Social Bubbles, dedicated to Lecrae and Little Simz, was coached by Maximilan Hanisch and presented at the Hans Otto Theater in 2023. Anita acquired Whitney Houston’s «One Moment in Time» working with Anne Haug and Judith Hofmann that same year.
She's assisting Ron Rosenbergs "Caring Communities" at the Kulturmarkt Zürich in late 2024.
From February 2025, she'll be starring in "Romeo & Juliet" at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, directed by Bonn Park.

Anita learns very fast, dances, sings, writes, and continues to display a great set of core values (liver, kidneys).
