Isabella Ullmann grew up in Westport, Connecticut, where she acted in local children’s theater, consistently landing non-speaking roles that required unattractive fur suits. After breaking out in not one, but two fevers mid performance, Isabella hung up her costumes and decided drama wasn’t her calling. After a 10 year hiatus, Isabella is shockingly now a drama major, but this time she’s not Templeton’s assistant in Charlotte’s Web; she’s a playwright. Through high school, Isabella fostered her love for writing through managing the school newspaper and attending a variety of creative writing workshops. Although she was mainly interested in short stories, she fell in love with script writing when she took Playwriting I at UVA, in which her professor encouraged her to submit her work to the Kennedy Center’s national playwriting competition. Isabella won the competition at the regional festival, and was a national semi-finalist for the Gary Garrison Playwright award. At UVA, she is on the executive board of Virginia Players, as well as one of the co-founders of Virginia Playwrights, a group dedicated to producing student plays. Currently, Isabella is also expanding her interests to screenwriting, as she is working with UVA’s student film club, Lab Shorts, to direct and produce one of her scripts.
