A recent graduate of the conservatory of acting at SUNY Purchase, Maria's first NYC production was DMT's award-winning Antony and Cleopatra. This was the second time Maria played a burlesque dancer in a Shakespeare show, the first being Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by internationally acclaimed David Bridel.
