BIO
Sofia is from Richmond, Vermont, where she picked up a love for fresh blueberries, haunted forests, and cryptids. ​It is the natural beauty, local lore, and creative community that brought Sofia to North Carolina in 2022.
While she had been involved in theatre and performance since childhood, Sofia began directing in school and independently with a group of peers in 2015.​
Moving to Chicago in 2017, Sofia began studying directing at The Theatre School at DePaul University. She also pursued interests she finds particularly engaging as well as having potential to overlap with theatre, triple minoring in American Politics, LGBTQ+ Studies, and Fandom, Cult Media, & Subculture. She graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2021 with a BFA.
She used the time during the pandemic to begin integrating mask-work with her theatre and teaching herself to make performative masks on her own.
​
Sofia is particularly fascinated and inspired by outdoor, immersive theatre experiences, mask-work, and experimenting with ancient texts from a non-linear, non-traditional approach.
She has taken a recent interest in cultivating hyper-specific atmospheres for events that might not normally identify themselves as an "immersive" experience, such as fundraisers and weddings. This interest was thoroughly highlighted while planning her own wedding and she ended up using the event as a meathod to practice integrating fantastical environmental experiences with a classic event.

Profile article about Sofia and her group producing "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind" in 2019.
"Everyone agreed that, yes, scissors as daggers were a bad idea, and Carfaro passed out paintbrushes instead. Her sister and assistant director, Raina Carfaro, informed Sofia that they would also need extra-thin condoms to make homemade blood squibs. Yes, someone's getting stabbed during this play."
