Hi, I'm Marissa, and I've been performing since I was eight. I have participated in eight CMT musicals. In Alice in Wonderland Jr, I played Violet, the snooty, popular flower. I also had the privledge of playing Tessie (the "oh my goddness orphan"), in Annie Warbucks at the age of thirteen. I am also currently in a musical called Candide, in which I have a variety of roles including a tango dancer and a cheerleader.
Although I absolutely adore singing and dancing, my favorite thing to do is acting! I work well with everyone, including adults and young children, and I take direction very well. I am definately not one to be shy around others! I have a bubbly personality and an undeniable passion for acting!

I hope to persue acting as a career, and become a successful actress. I plan to double-major in Drama and English and attend the four-week summer program at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts School of Film and Television, after high school.
