​Maggie Blair Smith

Current:

While I am taking a step back from auditioning for the time being, there are things happening behind-the-scenes that I'm excited to share when the details are available, including a workshop offering. Stay tuned!

 

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 fellow Janes of my character who knew her in real life was a true privilege.

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.
