Bridget Sobranes

is a creative arts professional, advocate, and co-founder of Inclusive Arts, a theater initiative rooted in inclusion, creativity, compassion, and community. Originally from Niagara Falls, NY, Bridget’s journey in the arts began in childhood, where she discovered her spark for performance and her dream to make the arts accessible to people of all abilities.
Since moving to North Carolina’s Triangle area in 2009, Bridget has worked as a developmental therapist, behaviorist, youth mentor, theater director, and classroom teacher. Over the course of ten years in education, she also served as a Creative Arts Director specializing in special education. Her passion for neurodiversity and inclusive education drives her mission to build spaces where every voice is valued and every story has room to unfold—a vision reflected in every project she touches.

A theater enthusiast to the core, Bridget loves to act, sing, dance, and direct. Her artistic style is as diverse as the audiences she serves. With over 20 years of directorial experience, she brings a dynamic blend of artistic passion and inclusive leadership to every production. Her directorial credits span beloved shows, each one a testament to her commitment to joyful, accessible storytelling infused with themes of love, purpose, and belonging.

Through Inclusive Arts, Bridget invites collaborators, clients, and community members to engage in meaningful creative work that uplifts, challenges, and connects. Her guiding mantra—“You are kind. You are unique. You are creative. You are able.”—captures the heart of her mission: to ensure every individual experiences the joy and fulfillment that the arts bring.
