“If Cody’s character is a vessel for his worldview, then Allison Sonson turns her into flesh and bone. What she creates is ultimately a masterpiece.”
- filmmaker Daniel de Bruyn on Allison in “My Submission”
Allison Sonson is a New York based actor, writer and producer. Originally from Hockessin, Delaware, she began acting at the age of five doing musical theatre.

UPCOMING projects!
This past summer, Allison graduated from the well-renowned clown summer workshop, Ecole Philippe Gaulier, in France. While abroad, Allison performed a piece from Franklin the Turtle, her one woman show, in London. Franklin the Turtle premiered in New York at The Tank, for a successful 2-day run in August with reviewers claiming — “Fantastic script,” “moving,” and “wonderful storytelling.” Follow @franklintheturtle_show to follow along the journey. The team hopes to expand the show internationally and is seeking future producing partners. When not auditioning or rehearsing her solo show, Allison is working on her craft @adultfilm.nyc(or dancing in her room, reading Shakespeare, anything that keeps her art/ambition alive). (i think that’s it..)
