Marianna T. Tonas

Hello there! My name is Marianna, and there is nothing I am more passionate about than theatre! As a character actor, I love to leave a lasting impression with zany, animated voices and a captivating presence. I can bring the house down with excellent comedic timing and wit or move an audience to tears. I excel when working in a fun, creative environment with children, adults, or even other actors! I'm versatile, empathetic, vibrant, and a joy to work with... or so I've been told.
