pronouns: she/her/hers
Marina is an NYC-based actor. She recently made her off-Broadway debut in a modern adaptation of Paradise Lost. You can also catch her on episode 309 of The Good Fight, streaming on CBS All-Access.
Marina has worked at some incredible theaters across the country, including the Cleveland Playhouse, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Syracuse Stage (SALT Awards Best Actress nomination), Alabama Shakespeare Festival, Geva Theater, Virginia Stage, Gulfshore Playhouse, and Trinity Rep to name a few. She has also worked and trained with the Guthrie, the SITI Company, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Columbia University, and Shakespeare and Company.
In between gigs she writes outlandish plays and prose poems and plunks away slowly at the violin and guitar. She also speaks light French, has a knack for dialects, any kind of movement, and is a total geek for mythology, symbolism, etymology, and dramaturgy. She likes to know where things came from and how they got here.
Born in Scotland and raised in Southern Illinois, Marina is super proud of her unique upbringing. The child of traveling artist professors, she spent her early years tossed between tiny towns in Scotland, Holland, Japan, and the scattered cornfields of the Midwest. She holds a BA in English and Theater with a concentration in Shakespeare from Oberlin College and an MFA in Acting from Brown/Trinity Rep.
