New York/Atlanta based Actor
Ana Gates Shields
Ana is a New York City and Atlanta based actor originally from Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up competing in figure skating and was a member of the first Theatre On Ice team in Georgia. Throughout her years performing on the ice, she fell in love with acting (but not the cold).
She recently graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in acting. While at Tisch, Ana studied in both the Meisner studio and the Stonestreet Studio’s film acting residency program. In August, she wrote and acted in a play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which received a 5-star rating. You can read about it here: Theatre Village Review of Read My Lips at Edinburgh Fringe
Ana’s passions include almond croissants, Earl Grey tea, her dogs, having dinner parties with friends, reading fantasy books, and naps.
