Hi! My name is Caroline Portner :)

I am a New York City based singer, dancer, and actress. From the first time I put on a pair of ballet slippers and twirled in front of an audience, I knew that I wanted to be a performer. I’ve always been a bubbly, outgoing, creative person with a wild imagination. I’m incredibly grateful every day that I get to do what I love most for a career. I am passionate about storytelling and the  healing power of comedy. 

I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with my family who have supported my dreams of being a performer since I was three years old. I would not be where I am today without my mom, dad, and sisters…..and my adorable Golden Retrievers, Otto and Snoop!

I received my BFA in Musical Theater from Syracuse University (Go Orange!) with a minor in Marketing from the Whitman School of Business.

I have many interests outside of theater, and more hobbies than I can list (but I'll try and keep it short!) I enjoy fitness, playing piano and guitar, traveling, baking, fashion, make-up artistry, and content creation.

Over the last year, I have used my TikTok platform to share audition and mental health advice to aspiring performers! I am lucky to have created a positive community of more than 5,500 followers. 

Favorite credits include Hairspray (Broadway national tour), Amadeus (Syracuse Stage), and Mamma Mia! (Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse).
