Career

In 2013, Englert made her Off-Broadway debut in Julie Taymor's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Theatre for a New Audience. She received rave reviews for her performance as Hermia opposite Kathryn Hunter's Puck, with The New York Times' Ben Brantley praising her "knockout comic performance as a sexually teasing Hermia,"[2] and The Hollywood Reporter calling her "dizzy Hermia" the "standout".[3] The production was later made into a feature film with limited theatrical release.[4]

Shortly after the run of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Englert was cast in Theatre for a New Audience's Off-Broadway production of King Lear in the role of Cordelia opposite Michael Pennington, again garnering positive acclaim as a "youthfully severe Cordelia".[5] She then performed in the MCC Theater's Off-Broadway run of the English play Punk Rock to positive reviews.[6][7]

Englert made her professional film debut in the upcoming romantic comedy Wilde Wedding opposite Patrick Stewart, Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Minnie Driver and Orange is the New Black's Yael Stone. The film is set for theatrical release in 2017.[8]

In 2016, Englert played the role of Marina in Theatre for a New Audience's Off-Broadway production of Pericles.[9][10][11]
