About Me 

Hi! My name is Caitlin Lohfeld, and I’m a NYC-based singer, dancer, and actress. I’m currently a junior at New York University pursuing a B.M. in Vocal Performance: Musical Theatre with a minor in Italian Studies (ciao a tutti!)

My musical journey began at age 9 with a voice teacher who hadn’t encountered much music written after 1960, which explained why the cherished Adele songbook I brought to my first ever voice lesson didn’t go over well. I was immediately assigned the classics like “Caro mio ben” and “Ave maria,” which, with time, patience, and trust, sparked a genuine love for classical music within me. That strong classical foundation eventually led me to explore musical theatre, and now I’m proud and passionate cross-genre artist. With that flexibility of technique, I’m able to move seamlessly between styles and deliver a wide range of performances with authenticity and confidence.

I bring a bright, youthful energy to every role and approach my characters with sincerity, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. Often playing the young “damsels in distress”, I challenge myself to find the emotional depth beneath their innocence, aiming for performances that are adventurous yet truthful.

In the rehearsal room, I bring a high level of musicianship and attentiveness, not just as a detail-oriented perfectionist, but through my strong proficiency in sight singing, aural training, and music theory. This allows me to pick up material quickly and focus more on musicality, intention, and collaboration. Whether preparing a classical aria or delving into a contemporary score, I bring storytelling, dedication, and a genuine joy for this art to every project I take on.

Outside of the rehearsal room, I’m on a lifelong mission to perfect my curly hair routine, a relentless endeavor that is worthy of a spot on my resume under “special skills”. I’m still searching for the best bowl of pho in NYC and can often be found binge-watching the latest period drama on Netflix. If I’m not the city, I’m most likely on a golf course refining my swing (and generously donating golf balls to nearby ponds) or spending time at my family’s farm in the Shenandoah Valley, where I enjoy gardening, forestry, and operating tractors and heavy equipment.
