September L. Davis is one of the American theater's most enduring and enigmatic figures — a performer whose five-decade career has spanned Broadway, the West End, and stages across the globe that she prefers not to name out of respect for their privacy.

A protégé of the late, great masters of the Golden Age (all of whom, she notes with great sorrow, have passed and can no longer be contacted for comment), September began her training at a prestigious East Coast conservatory whose records were tragically lost in what she describes only as "an institutional event." She made her professional debut at an age she considers "irrelevant to the work," and what followed was a career of staggering range and relentless ambition.

Her Broadway and Broadway-adjacent credits include the original company of Death Race: The Musical (Drama Desk consideration), Hindenburg: The Musical (closed during previews to what she maintains was "a politically motivated fire inspection"), and her legendary, creatively ambitious one-woman interpretation of Sound of Music — all roles, all genders, all sung. Additional New York appearances include her self-produced concert September: An Evening at a venue she describes as "intimate by design," her debut with an orchestra whose name is currently in legal dispute, and multiple appearances at benefits where she was not technically on the bill but performed anyway to what she recalls as "an electrified room."

Nationally, she has appeared in regional productions across the country, many of which took place in towns that have since been redistricted and are difficult to verify on current maps. She has performed at festivals, galas, private estates, and to the delight of her fans, boats.

September has been called a "force of nature" by the New York Times and her voice has been compared to instruments that have not yet been invented. Her influence on a generation of theater artists is immeasurable.

Recordings include September Sings September: The Songs of September L. Davis, An Evening You'll Never Forget (Volume I), and a concept album for Hindenburg that was recorded in a single take and is available exclusively through her website. She is also the author of the forthcoming memoir Standing Ovation: My Life in the Theater, which has been forthcoming for nine years and spans, at current draft, eleven hundred pages.

Off the stage, September is a devoted mother to her Pomeranians, a fierce advocate for the arts, and the founder of the September L. Davis Foundation for Performing Excellence, which primarily funds the September L. Davis Foundation for Performing Excellence Annual Gala honoring September L. Davis.

She is currently in residence in New York City, where she is developing new work, cultivating the next generation of talent, and preparing for what she has described as "the most important chapter in the history of the American theater." Details are forthcoming.
