Bringing international experiences to performances
Courtney Pulitzer delighted in entertaining audiences from an early age and landed roles throughout high school and community theaters, leading up to a starring role her Freshman year in the Skidmore College Janet Kinghorn Theater inaugural production under the direction of Alma Becker and Kay Matschullat.
From there, she honed her craft at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts elite studios: Experimental Theater Wing, Playwrights Horizons, Atemi/Aylett Studios, and spent her final semester in Moscow, Russia at the Circle in the Square Summer exchange program with the Mikhail Shchepkin Theatre School graduating with honors.
With a strong yet serene stage presence, impeccable comic timing, and a wry sense of humor, Pulitzer commands any role.
Beyond the footlights, Pulitzer was an entrepreneurial pioneer during the dot-com boom, achieving international fame for her “Cocktails with Courtney” events and “Cyber Scene” newsletter. Her creative talents span marketing, promotions, event production, writing, reporting, web design, crafts, and more.
Pulitzer’s multifaceted artistic creations personify passion, authenticity, and an insatiable lust for life.
