Thanks for saying hello!

I want to tell stories and I want to engage people in art. A simplified statement with a lot of hard work behind it to describe my current ethos as I continue to tackle new roles and shows challenging me as an actor, and continuing forward momentum for my career.

Hi! I'm Madalaina. You've found me here so I hope it means you're interested in my work or working with me. I've been really lucky this far in my career to have worked with some fantastic collaborators, and cannot wait to keep working; nothing fulfills me like being involved in a project, from film to stage, classical to contemporary, Shakespeare to musical theatre. I want to tell stories and I want to engage people in art- and now I get to do just that as my job!

Now based between New York City and Washington, DC, I am eager to continue working around the country in both classical and musical theatre, and (once the strike is over- I stand with WGA and SAG) to work and grow my film and TV credits as well. I have a fantastic manager and am also actively seeking agency representation in the NY, LA, Atlanta, and London markets.

I grew up between the Philadelphia suburbs and the Jersey Shore, where the performing bug bit me early! I started training as a classical ballet dancer, and that translated very well into continued musical theatre training, which led me to the Rome School of Music, Drama and Art in Washington DC, where I received my BM in Musical Theatre. I also have a Drama Certificate from the London Dramatic Academy and an MFA from Shakespeare Theatre Company's Academy for Classical Acting.
