A.J GLUCK 

….is a New York City-based actor, singer, and comedian.

Born and raised in downtown Manhattan, I first stepped into the spotlight at age six (...going on seventeen) as Liesl in The Sound of Music, and I’ve never looked back. 

I come from an eclectic group of performers and creatives. My grandmother is an Argentinian-American concert pianist. My grandfather was a German violinist. Together they toured the world, playing concerts from Brazil to India to China. My mother is a reformed theater kid and dancer turned journalist and my father is a journalist and author. I grew up believing the world truly was a stage, a place to express yourself and to inform, entertain, move, and maybe even inspire others. This convergence of communication through verbal language, music, and physical forms exposed me to the power of theatrical storytelling.

I recently earned my B.A. in Dramatic Arts at Kenyon College, where I studied dramatic structure, text analysis, lighting, set, sound, and prop design, and starred in and helped to produce my senior thesis. Now I'm thrilled to be back in New York City—the place where my love of theater took root—to begin my professional theater career.

I’ve never loved anything the way I love theater, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. My goal is simple: to keep creating, collaborating, and connecting. Onstage, on the page, and everywhere in between.
