Ann Marie has been a performer all her life. From her first dance class, where she fell in love with the spotlight, to her first play, where running one’s mouth on stage was encouraged, Ann Marie knew she wanted to be an actor.

Ann Marie grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, and after moving to Eastern Shore Maryland, attended Towson University where she majored in Psychology-Sociology and received a minor in Theatre Arts. Throughout her college years, Ann Marie acted in short films, new works plays, community theatre productions, and even took part in several 24-hour play festivals writing, performing, and directing.

Since making the move to NYC, Ann Marie has continued her acting training at The Barrow Group and The David Perlow Studio and began her on-camera training at One on One Next Level NYC. Ann Marie has performed in a multitude of new works productions and festivals at The Chain Theatre, The American Theatre of Actors, and The Vino Theater where she has made her artistic home performing in a several monthly improv shows.

Ann Marie has also found a love for immersive theater after taking part in a children’s theater tour where she spent one summer performing in the libraries of small towns across the East Coast. Ann Marie’s love of interacting and connecting with audience members continued after joining the cast of Accomplice the Village, a puzzle solving/walking-tour/impressive theater experience running Every Saturday in the West Village.

Ann Marie’s ultimate passion, however, is film. She’s worked on several short films, an episode of Evil Lives Here, has done commercial work, and has even played a villainess role in the industry’s latest craze, vertical short film. Ann Marie looks for inspiration in the romantic comedy greats such as Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, and Julia Roberts.
