theeagleokotoks · SPOTLIGHT - Episode One - Alecia and Chantelle

Alecia Pagnotta (1:07)

A Toronto based theatre and film actor, Alecia is an avid coffee drinker, huge Lord of the Rings fan and on a quest to find the best tiramisu in the world. Not always the most talkative kid in school, Alecia found her voice on stage in her grade one talent show. She loved to share her passion for performance and continued to pursue her talents in the form of voice, piano and dance lessons. 

As an adult, Alecia packed up her bags and made the trip across the border to the USA to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre (as well as a minor in both dance and Spanish) at Ohio Northern University. Ironically, the first person she met at her new school wasn't even American, but Australian! 

With a passion for theatre and hunger to be creative, Alecia is thrilled and very much looking forward to all that comes her way.

Chantelle Vant Erve (22:53)

 

Chantelle is from Okotoks Alberta Canada, and began dancing when she was 3. She was surrounded by 2 brothers who played basketball and hockey, yet chose to "lace" up a pair of ballet shoes instead of skates. She loves her steak medium rare, spending time with her family, and in the Rocky Mountains.

A graduate of the Hartt School in Hartford CT, Chantelle had the pleasure of performing in multiple main stages such as Evita, All Shook Up and Nunsense, both as leads and ensemble members. There, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. 

She spent this past year living in New York City, continuing her training and auditioning for the performing arts. As Covid-19 developed into a world pandemic, she returned home to Alberta in March 2020. With her United States Visa now expired, she is exploring all Alberta and Canada have to offer, and is ecstatic to delve into new opportunities that lie on her front doorstep.
