My Story

Dréa Lewis is a native of Albany, GA and studied Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Nearly completing the program, she changed her major, as she felt inclined to pursue acting as a way of embracing her ability to connect to people. After earning her degree in Science, Technology, and Culture at Georgia Tech, she immediately studied theatre in New York under the direction of George Morrison and Mike Nichols at New Actors Workshop (simultaneously working on her Master of Arts Degree in Acting at Antioch University-McGregor in Ohio). Being so impressed by the quality of her work, Mr. Nichols initiated the process for her to work with him on the feature film, Charlie Wilson’s War. He wrote “Dréa is a young woman of great talent, intelligence, and beauty…She is an individual of unusual gifts and charm.” She looks forward to challenging the possibilities of herself as well as her audience through the use of imaginary circumstances.
