Ella Stiller is joining the family business and she’s making her off-Broadway debut in the new play Dilaria this week!
The 23-year-old daughter of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, and granddaughter of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, is opening up about having the support of her famous parents as she steps into this new chapter of her life.
Dilaria is a darkly funny play that explores a generation raised on true crime, reality TV, & social media. Ella stars alongside Chiara Aurelia and Christopher Briney in the new play, which will be performed at the DR2 Theatre through August 3.
Ella says that amid her new role, her relationship with her parents has “only deepened, because it’s just another thing to connect on, to be able to talk about and to relate to on a deeper level.”

“It’s really meaningful,” Ella told People. “My parents were at every single show I did at Juilliard. They understand how hard it is and the joy that comes with it. I just feel lucky and really grateful for their understanding and support.”
“As I’ve gotten older, [my dad] and I have really been able to connect over talking about acting and working, and it really means a lot to me,” Ella said. “I come from a family of theater people. Everyone in my family comes from the theater proudly, so they’re exactly like me. My dad’s first job was at Lincoln Center and I just graduated from Julliard, so I was at school across the street. I look up to him, my mom and my grandparents a lot. Especially in a moment like this, where I’m doing the thing I love to do.”
“So to finally get to [make my Off-Broadway debut] is really special,” she said. “And I feel lucky to have not only my parents’ support, but also their understanding of what it means to be doing this right now.”
