## Training and early stage career
Camp performed in community theater in [South Carolina](https://www.edgepedia.org/south-carolina) as a child, then attended the [University of North Carolina School of the Arts](https://www.edgepedia.org/university-of-north-carolina-school-of-the-arts) for classical conservatory training, graduating with a BFA in 2004 and moving to New York City to pursue stage work.[10](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-anna-camp-20180503-story.html) • [4](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/anna-camp/) She has said she expected to work in theater exclusively: "I thought I was going to be doing theater and only theater for the rest of my life."[11](https://www.salon.com/2023/04/30/anna-camp-pitch-perfect-true-blood-from-black/)
Her first professional job was in *The Importance of Being Earnest* at the Dallas Theater Center, which earned her an Equity card and led to a part in the off-Broadway musical *God Hates the Irish*. That production was seen by playwright Theresa Rebeck, whose play *The Scene* Camp later starred in, and by director [Mike Nichols](https://www.edgepedia.org/mike-nichols), who cast her in her Broadway debut.[10](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-anna-camp-20180503-story.html)
**Broadway work.** In 2008 Camp appeared in two high-profile Broadway revivals: Clifford Odets' *The Country Girl* (April to July 2008), directed by Nichols, in which she played Nancy Stoddard, and Peter Shaffer's *[Equus](https://www.edgepedia.org/equus-play)* (September 2008 to February 2009), in which she played Jill Mason opposite [Daniel Radcliffe](https://www.edgepedia.org/daniel-radcliffe).[5](https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/anna-camp-477368) • [4](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/anna-camp/) She returned to Broadway in 2017 as Hazel Conway in the revival of J.B. Priestley's *Time and the Conways*.[5](https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/anna-camp-477368) Off-Broadway, she starred in [Zach Braff](https://www.edgepedia.org/zach-braff)'s *All New People*, earning a 2012 Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play.[5](https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/anna-camp-477368)
She has described theater as a continuing practice rather than a phase, returning "to feed her soul and to check in on how she's growing as an actor," and noting that the adrenaline of live performance has no screen equivalent for her.[10](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-anna-camp-20180503-story.html) In 2026 she was announced as Lauren in the New York premiere of the Olivier Award-nominated thriller *2:22 – A Ghost Story* at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.[12](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/anna-camp)
## Screen breakthrough

Her film breakthrough came as Aubrey Posen, the uptight leader of the Barden Bellas a cappella group, in *Pitch Perfect* (2012); she reprised the role in *Pitch Perfect 2* (2015) and *Pitch Perfect 3* (2017).[6](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2319871/bio/) • [3](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/anna_camp) In the same period she took supporting parts in *The Help* (2011) and [Woody Allen](https://www.edgepedia.org/woody-allen)'s *Café Society* (2016).[3](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/anna_camp)
## Television career
Camp built a television résumé of recurring roles on prominent series before her first regular sitcom job.
