Calista Jones
"Calista Jones brings a graceful vocal presence, confidence, and wholesomeness."
- Broadway World
Hello!
My name is Calista Jones (she/her) I was born and raised in East Tennessee!
I've been a dancer for my whole life, but I learned my true love for musical theater performance while studying English at Maryville College. I graduated in just 3 years with a BA in English in 2024 and am now pursuing theater full-time.
In addition to singing, acting, and dancing, I love to continue my English studies, play viola and guitar, and read in my free time.
I love theater for its capacity to be a safe space, to enrich people's lives, and to introduce them to new and life-changing ideas. I try to channel this love into every project I work on, and I feel so grateful to be making a life doing something I love so much!
