Tricia Paoluccio is a versatile actor, distinctive visual artist, and a dynamic creator. During the pandemic, two of her lifelong passions blossomed in transformative ways. She cowrote Here You Come Again, a two-person musical where she portrays her idol: Dolly Parton. Endorsed by Dolly herself, the production was granted worldwide grand rights to her iconic music. After a successful U.S. tour in 2023, the show is now touring the UK, and preparing for it’s London debut at the Riverside Studios. Tricia has been nominated for Best Leading Performer in a Musical, and the show for Best New Musical, by the 2024 Broadway World UK/West End Awards.

As a visual artist, Tricia’s passion for flower pressing has led to high-profile collaborations, creating botanical designs for luminaries in the fashion, publishing, and music industries. Her collaboration with Oscar de la Renta resulted in Taylor Swift’s iconic pressed flower dress at the Grammys and Anna Wintour wearing her art to the Met Gala. The viral success of these creations led to Tricia launching her brand: Domain of the Flowerings which features pressed flower imagery in high design.

Raised on an almond farm in Modesto, CA, by an inventor father and a school teacher mother, Tricia moved to NYC where she initially sold her art on the street while pursuing her acting career.

Since making her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, she has worked consistently in New York theatre on Broadway and off, in television and film. Her stage work ranges from playing Cressida in Sir Peter Hall’s Troilus and Cressida to originating the role of Donna in the cult Off-Broadway hit Debbie Does Dallas, to co-starring in the inaugural production of Edward Albee’s Lady from Dubuque at the Signature Theatre, to Chava in David Leveaux’s Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Recent tv credits include recurring roles on Saint X and Law and Order: SVU.

As a creator, Tricia developed, produced and starred in the cringe comedy web series, Mommy Blogger, a satire of influencer culture, which was later optioned and retitled LIKE ME.

Tricia divides her time between her family’s California farm, NYC and England, where she lives with her husband, director Gabriel Barre, and their two sons. Passionate about prison reform, she served for over a decade as a volunteer chaplain at Manhattan Detention Center.
