Clarisa Gomez is a Venezuelan-American actor, singer, director, composer, and songwriter based in Chicago. Originally from Venezuela, she grew up between Spain and London, shaping her love of storytelling across languages, cultures, and forms. She is drawn to work that explores identity and pushes the boundaries of communication through music, language, and movement, embracing the intimate, vulnerable, and messy.

Clarisa is entering her third and final year at Northwestern University, pursuing a B.A. in Theatre, Music Theatre Certificate, and minor in Sound Design. She has trained and performed with the Royal Academy of Music and National Youth Music Theatre in London, and currently performs with Northwestern’s Latin Music Ensemble and the Cuban band Primer Capítulo.

Passionate about new and experimental work, Clarisa is a member of TBD, Northwestern’s Neo-Futurist theatre ensemble, and serves as New Music Chair for Vertigo Productions. As a composer and performer, she loves challenging traditional forms and blurring disciplines. When not performing, she is probably writing music, cooking elaborate meals, scuba diving, or working as a photographer. This winter, she will make her professional debut as Julieta in Romeo y Julieta at Chicago Shakespeare Theater!

Clarisa is currently seeking representation.
