​Maggie Blair Smith

Current:

After taking time off to take care of my well-being, I am back to auditioning and hoping to work with you in the future!

 

Recent:

On January 20th, I was so grateful to be cast as Jody in a staged production of Jane: Abortion and the Underground, produced by Fat Theatre Project and Violet Surprise Theatre. We raised over $3,000 for Planned Parenthood and the Chicago Abortion Fund. Getting to meet the fellow Janes of my character who knew her in real life was a true privilege.

 

Currently Reading:

          The Way of Acting: The Theatre Writings of 

          Tadashi Suzuki. I now understand more about this

method than I ever learned in class. Which is frustrating and delightful at the same time!

​

Book Recommendation:

The Actor's Art and Craft and The Actor's Guide to Creating a Character, both written by Damon DiMarco and William Esper. These books helped to revive my acting passion after the pandemic drained it of life. Each book focuses on one year of Meisner training through Bill Esper's curriculum.
