BIO

Mara Elissa Palma is an actor, playwright, director, and producer, and looks to add more titles to tha tlist! She is originally from the Philippines, and now calls Boston home after graduating from Wellesley College. You may have seen her on-stage as Leah Anne Cho, et al. (Yellow Face, O.W.I.), Collaterial 1 (The Birds, Sleeping Weazel) Corrinna Stroller (House of Blue Leaves, Wellesley Repertory), and Camillo (The Winter's Tale, Maiden Phoenix Theatre Company). As a playwright, Mara was part of Company One Theatre's PlayLab Unit in 2016, and is forever grateful to her professor and mentor, Lois Roach, for introducing her both to C1 and playwriting. Mara has a mission to increase representation for women, and particularly women of color in all aspects of the theater and entertainment industry. Fierce, feminist, Filipina.

Simmons and an ensemble of eight actors make sense of Tom Stoppard's 1968 comedy whodunnit, THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND, even as they squeeze very bit of theatrical nonsense from this old chestnut. The troupe plays well together and looks like they're taking their roles seriously, despite their characters saying and doing ridiculous things.
The 6th Annual Boston One-Minute Play Festival Returns: Nasty Women Strike Back!

The Boston One-Minute Play Festival (#1MPF) returns with a twist: the sixth annual festival will celebrate the works of all women-identified playwrights and directors, as part of 1MPF's National Women's Initiative. Boston joins New York, Minneapolis, Chicago, South Florida, and other cities including an all women-identified cohort of artists this season. The aim of this program is to get a cohort of women-identified theatremakers in the room, uphold the important themes, ideas, conversations, and dialogues that bubble up to the surface, and hold space for valuable community conversations.
