Welcome

Since bursting onto the stage at the tender age of five, Allison has been walking in the shoes of others. With a combination of intensity and tenderness, seasoned with a good dose of physical comedy, Allison (Metcalf) has spent twenty years as a professional actress. From her conservatory training at Carnegie Mellon University through a two-year stint on Broadway to her current work writing and performing one-woman pieces around the country with Women of Faith, she relishes the process of bringing the stories of others to life.

Best-selling comedian Anita Renfroe writes of her, “It would be easy to define Allison on the basis of her classical training and Broadway experience as an actress, the strength of her own creative writing or the amazing way she disappears into a character so completely. As true as those are, they cannot define what sets her apart from the rest - the simple fact that her passion to communicate and move her listeners flows out of something few possess: a pure heart. When I watch Allison give herself away in performance I am reminded that true art always reflects The Artist of our Souls.”

Captured by the power of story, Allison writes and performs pieces that often offer surprising perspectives. “Magdalene”, whose initial production featured Jordin Sparks of American Idol, has been produced to acclaim on both coasts. This musical explores one woman’s journey to dance again after suffering devastating tragedy

In addition to performing, Allison loves teaching. After having spent four years as an adjunct faculty member at Belmont University, she as been honored to teach in master class settings, seminars and conferences around the country. Tony Guerrero, Creative Director at Saddleback Church says, “I watched as Allison Allen presented an original work to an audience of 1500 worship leaders and pastors – and it became one of the most talked about moments in a three day conference that included many of the industry’s top performers and speakers. She is truly a master in her craft, both as a writer and actor, and knows how to tell a story that can move audiences beyond their expectations.”
