makes her debut with Richmond Shakespeare, and she is humbled and grateful for the opportunity. Marie moved back to Virginia six years ago, after spending over a decade of artistic endeavors in Chicago Illinois, after earning her BFA in performance theatre from VCU. Since her return, she has appeared as Caroline in Detroit 67’ with Firehouse Theatre, swapped between both Roland and Marianne in Constellations with Yes And!

A founding member of Alluvium Group (Chicago), she co-directed, wrote and produced I am No Bird, an original work about the Bronte sisters. Thanks to my love, Cody, for your constant encouragement and belief in me, and our lady baby Mackey, who we almost named the title of this play.
