SCENIC DESIGNER
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I believe in designing a world within a theatre that engages the audience to think past the stage. Using effective communication, collaboration, and innovation my designs stand out. Creating new, bold designs are the standards I hold myself to. Finding the key elements within a piece inspires me to hit the refresh button on any show I work on.
BIOGRAPHY
Maggie was born and raised in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. She actively pursued theatre from the age of 12. During her senior year of high school, she found a passion for design through a former art teacher. From there, she attended East Stroudsburg University for Musical Theatre Performance. Shortly after, she declared a minor in Technical Theatre with a focus in lighting. She took a gap year and worked for the Walt Disney World Company in Orlando, Florida. Returning with a newfound drive, she took on new roles and positions in the theatre department at ESU. Maggie changed her technical theatre minor into a second major. After switching to online classes, due to Covid-19, she rediscovered her love for scenic design. Having more time to create at home, allowed her to dive deeper into her work. After earning her BA in Technical Theatre & Musical Theatre Performance, she moved to Indiana to pursue her MFA in Scenic Design from Indiana University (IU). Her work has been seen regionally with Theatre SilCo, Constellation Stage & Screen, The Forestburgh Playhouse, Cortland Repertory Theatre, Creede Repertory Theatre, Weston Theater Company, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Summer Stock Stage, and Indiana University Summer Theatre.
