Mary Brigham is an actor, musician and writer from Richmond, Virginia.
Mary has been immersed in the arts since before she was born, her mother teaching singing lessons out of their home. She has grown up singing and creating songs on the piano, even performing musicals and movies with her friends at sleepovers. As she grew up, this love was translated into theater and a classical training in the harp, playing with the American Youth Harp Ensemble for seven years, eventually recording an album at Abbey Road Studios.
Through all art forms Mary takes on, she has always been interested in how art helps us to heal and connect with others, how it can process and break open shame, creating a bridge so authentic understanding and change can occur. Mary is currently co-writing a play titled “Portrait of a Mother” that explores how the overturning of Roe v. Wade affects expecting mothers through a lens of compassion and factual accuracy.
Mary also likes to write songs for fun! And paint portraits as Christmas gifts for her family! And lots of other things she is very interesting and cool. And humble.
Recent roles include Julia in "Fefu and Her Friends," directed by Darah Bahrenholtz, Princess Mary in "…The Great Comet of 1812" directed by Quin Gordon and Maria in "Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play," directed by Carl Forsman.
