Britain Simons

Britain Simons was born in Durango, Colorado to Kelly Roelke, a photographer, and David Simons, an architect. He has one sibling, an older sister, Gentry Simons. Having no connection to the entertainment industry, Britain gained steady success as an Actor, Online Educator and dedicated Content Creator, on social media. He built a community of over 323K members.

Britain auditioned for his first theater production, at 14, to conquer a fear of public speaking. While working to earn scholarships, he found a home in regional theater. He performed in choir, with the Carnegie Hall Singers in NYC. In 2010, he earned a full ride scholarship as a Daniels Fund scholar to attend Baylor University. Deviating from the family tradition of architecture and engineering, he studied theater performance and design.

He graduated with his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theater Studies in 2014 from Baylor University, in Waco, Texas. He attended The National Theatre Institute (NTI) at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Connecticut, NYC. He also spent a short time in St. Petersburg, Russia with The State Theater Arts Academy, in partnership with NTI. During his studies, he performed in regional theatre productions such as Romeo, in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
