BIO
Sofia is from Richmond, Vermont, where she picked up a love for fresh blueberries, haunted forests, and cryptids. 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 Theatre Arts (Directing Concentration) 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 will graduate in June with a BFA.
​
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. Read her (working-- we are all constantly evolving) aesthetic manifesto at the bottom of "Credits and Experience".
​
With a desire to work anywhere and everywhere, she has no issue relocating in order to go where she is most needed or is the best fit. Always ready to get right in the mess of things, Sofia looks forward to helping find creative solutions and new approaches as the arts community goes through this incredible healing process.

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."
