Once Maria naively told an artistic director “if you ever need a hand give me a call”.

Several jobs later, she is Pacific Theatre’s resident kitchen wench, and occasional props mistress/stage manager/stage mother.  Word spread and she has also been conscripted for other shows around town including:

• The Rocky Horror Show - DSRP/Blue House

• Brilliant Traces  - Moonlight Monkey

• Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Hoarse Raven

• Honk!  - Ophidian Entertainment

• Evil Dead: The Musical - Norman Rothstein Theatre

To support her theatre habit, Maria is also a social worker for the Forensic Psychiatric Service (although she is accepting applications for the position of wealthy personal patron!)
