A little bit about me…

SLee (she/they) is a plus-size LGBTQ+ actress/singer currently residing in New York City. Born Savannah-Lee Mumford, SLee was raised in the small town of Mount Airy (Mayberry), North Carolina. SLee earned a BFA in Drama from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and an MFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University. Most recently, SLee attended South by South West (SXSW) for the world premiere of Adrianne & the Castle (Intuitive Pictures) a half narrative, half docu-feature, in which SLee had the honor of playing the film’s titular character, Adrianne St. George. Earlier this year SLee starred as Robyn Brown alongside comedian Tim Murray in the Off-Broadway Revival of Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man (Michael & Tom D’Angora) at AMT Theatre, during which SLee and the cast/creatives had the privilege of working alongside its creator, Matt Murphy.
