Pryscila Cassiano Salinas is a Brazilian-American actress, writer, director, teaching artist and clown. Pryscila was born and raised in South Florida and has B.A. in Theatre from Nova Southeastern University. Pryscila began theatre in elementary school when she played Miss Hannigan in ANNIE… she knew from then on that this is what she wanted to do for life! She went to performing arts magnet schools from elementary to high school. From her experience she knows how special and important theatre is from a young age and has a strong passion for teaching “littles” about the art form! Some of Pryscila’s favorite roles have been Mother Goose (MOTHER GOOSE) at The REV, Yaz (WATER BY THE SPOONFUL) with New City Players, and Connie (TONY N TINA’S WEDDING) at the Broward Center. In the Fall of 2025, she will be performing in HEEBIE JEEBIES with the FAU Theatre Lab. Last year, she directed THINK NOW THEATRE CO’s production of FOOL FOR LOVE which performed at The Find Your Voice Foundations JB Studio Theatre. Pryscila also has over 10 years of experience performing improv. Some of her favorite troupes to perform with have been JUST THE FUNNY and NO LAUGHS.
Pryscila also loves to dress up as a clown, face paint and juggle! The balance of her professional skill-sets and joy of creative arts has made Pryscila a perfect fit as the Director of Mini-Camps and several early learning classes at BARCLAY, as well as a specialty teacher for students of all ages looking to bring their skill sets to new heights, including pre-professional tracks. Pryscila speaks both English and Spanish and is highly organized and driven. She is excited to round out her creative teaching and managing with assisting BARCLAY and The Find Your Voice Foundation in its community outreach efforts, communication and events. She officially joined the team in the summer of 2025 and is excited to be continuing to grow with both companies year-round.
