Olivia Hudson-Fuentes is an actress and singer of Cuban-Dominican descent, born and raised in Miami, Florida. As a bilingual artist, her favorite musical, West Side Story, first sparked her love of theatre as a child, and this May 1–3 she will fulfill a lifelong dream by playing Maria.
She is currently pursuing a BFA in Acting with a minor in Musical Theatre at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Three most recent highlights of Olivia’s career include appearing as Judy in SCAD’s production of 9 to 5, making her regional theatre debut as Eva Perón in Evita, and performing in Getting Your Act Together, an original cabaret created and directed by Leslie Odom Jr. and Tiffany Evariste after a 10-week lab last spring.
Next, Olivia will be performing in SCAD’s Senior Showcase on April 20, a culmination of everything she has learned during her time at SCAD.
Olivia is an associate of Damaris Lopez-Canales and holds a certification in vocal pedagogy from DLC Voices. She has also served as Music Director for Miami Children’s Theatre, sharing her passion for performance and education with the next generation of artists.
She is especially passionate about highlighting diverse narratives and celebrating her cultural heritage in her work. Outside of theatre, she enjoys Gilmore Girls, baking, listening to music, and hanging out with friends, and exploring her creative passions.
