An actress can only play a woman. I’m an actor. I can play anything.
— Whoopi Goldberg

Entertaining and entrepreneurial endeavors go hand in hand, but a passion for performance is principal in making Maren’s milieu so magnetic - to adventure onstage has been a lifelong engagement for her.

FAR AND AWAY

As an actor, I have worked at numerous regional theaters throughout the United States including Center Stage (Baltimore, MD), Hangar Theatre (Ithaca, NY), and BoarsHead (Lansing, MI).  I have performed in touring productions in Italy and Palestine (West Bank and East Jerusalem) in addition to performing in shows in England and Germany.

I have also made appearances in film and television projects.  The artistic performance that excites me most is when I can mix my love of physical performance with topical content to educate, inspire and delight an audience.

 

 

EDUCATION

I received a BFA (with honors) in Acting and Theater Arts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. I have also studied with Second City in Chicago, and at BADA in London.
