Arissa Claire Brown (they/she) originally hails from Wichita, KS (among other places), and is a creative who found acting and music thanks to a fellow visionary — their mom. She began singing and dramatizing around the house at the age of four, and their theatrical journey started at six, in a production of the children's book The Paperbag Princess.

After 12 years of performing, Arissa attended Oklahoma City University to pursue their Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre, wherein she appeared in productions of June by the Sea, Significant Other, Spring Awakening, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Bright Star! Recently, she was seen on the Wichita stage as Julia in The Wedding Singer with Crown Arts Collaborative.

beyond performance, Arissa enjoys a good book (current suggestion: The Secret History by Donna Tartt), vintage fashion, making coffee, spending time with their cat, and a good outdoor stroll.

Arissa plans to move to New York City in September of 2023.
