On Broadway Evangelia Kingsley was in the original casts of Puccini’s La Boheme directed by Baz Luhrmann and Coram Boy at the Imperial Theatre. She played Signora Naccarelli in the First National Tour of Light in the Piazza and was seen in Zorba at Encores. She has performed extensively off-Broadway and regionally in musical theatre, operas, and plays. Roles include Madame Armfeldt in A Little Night Music, Mother in the chamber opera Thumbprint, Consuelo in I Was Looking at the Ceiling and then I Saw the Sky with Alarm Will Sound, Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd, the Witch in Into the Woods, der Trommler in Victor Ullman’s opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis, Cleopatra and Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare’s plays, the Marchioness Matilda Spina in Pirandello's Henry IV, Alicia de St. Ephlam in Gigi, among many others. She is an active cabaret performer and her many shows, most recently In Paris with You, have been seen in cabarets all over New York and regionally. Her film work includes a starring role in the indie short This Is Reality!

As a writer, Evangelia studied with poet Michelle Clinton in Los Angeles. Her poetry turned into a libretto for an opera, Holy Week, which is being composed by Constantine Kitsopoulos. Ultimately, her writing led her back to my first love, theatre. She began working with playwright Karen Hartman several years ago and subsequently studied with Francine Volpe, Brooke Berman and Winter Miller, and attended workshops with Paula Vogel and Tanya Barfield. Her first play, A Good Mother, was a semi-finalist at the O’Neill National Playwrights Conference in 2012. She received a New Works Grant from the Queens Council on the Arts in 2017 for Simple Gifts, which was a finalist at the O'Neill in 2018. She received another New Works Grant in 2019 for her one-person play, Complicit: Observations from the 57th Floor.
Evangelia holds a Masters of Music in vocal performance from Indiana University as well as an MFA in Acting from SMU.
