Bio
Hello and thanks for visiting my page! I’m Marla, a Dramatic/Comedic Actress with a wide range and physical theatre/improv chops. Ranging from “very funny” (Picture This Post) to serious, I'm known for embodying a range of female characters, from glam to the more eclectic. I'm the "quirky and sexy siren rolled into one, that comes from the Emily Deschanel school of beauty."(Gornoblonde.wordpress.com).
A Chicago-trained actress, I lend dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair to my film and stage roles. To date, I have performed in over 20 films; recent credits include "Scar Lake," "Every 21 Seconds," "Private Screening," "The Cockups" and "An Airman's Sanctuary." In 2015, I was nominated for Best Actress for playing dual roles in the award-winning film "Be Your Woman."
In Chicago, I've trained at The Artistic Home, The Annoyance Theatre, ComedySportz, and with Jimmy Carrane. Recent stage credits include "Newton/Lantana" (Waltzing Mechanics), "This, That, and The Other Thing" (On The Spot Theatre Company), "Company Policy," (The Artistic Home), and "Verona: A Love Story" (Public House Theatre).
A 90's Debra Winger and Kate McKinnon hybrid, I'm quirky, off-the-wall, weird, loving, sexy, smart, dominating, sweet, funny, sarcastic and witty. I’m the sarcastic best friend, loving young mom, caring nurse, whip smart lawyer, quirky coworker, frustrated entrepreneur, serious therapist, sexy girlfriend, and hot mess drug addict. Unpredictable, devilish, and rebellious, I’m the female Jack Nicholson.
