Angela is an award-winning, master-level cosplayer and educator. She started sewing from a very young age when her sense of style and love of dressing up like movie and TV show characters made her father and grandmother realize that “this child needs to learn how to sew.”
With over twenty years of experience in the world of cosplay, special FX makeup, and film, Angela has focused on introducing new people to costuming/cosplay and FX makeup, helping create a fun and safe environment for all. When not working on cosplays, she has designed and created costumes and makeups for stage and screen. She loves the process of bringing a thought on a piece of paper to life. Angela also enjoys writing (several short stories and two cookbooks), directing (she has won numerous awards for her short film directing, as well as for her acting), and dressing up her two pugs—Jimmy and Dezzy.
Angela can be seen in a plethora of films and on TV, including Plan 9, The Porkchop Trillogy, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and the JG Wentworth commercial.
She has been a cosplay guest, judge, contest runner, and instructor at many conventions across the US. Her costumes have been featured in The Washington Post, CosMode, and multiple coffee table costuming/cosplay books. You can find her online on Instagram @Angalese or on TikTok @AngelaPlaysUkulele.
We are Pushing Dragons, a Dungeons and Dragons live play with a twist. We take elements of cosplay, live action role-play, and improv to create a hilarious and interactive D&D adventure. Using a stripped-down version of 5th Edition, the audience rolls on behalf of the player characters and can influence the player’s actions.
Unlike other live plays, we don’t sit around the table. Our game is performed on a stage with the players and monsters often venturing into the audience. It is an exciting and energetic experience with a lot of audience participation.
Pushing Dragons can be seen monthly at the Push Comedy Theater (Norfolk, VA) where they just celebrated two years of sold-out shows. The show has also made appearances at the Virginia Beach Funny Bone, MarsCon, Tidewater Comicon and our own Dragon Faire.
