ABOUT
ME
Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Mary Townsend worked as an Actor and Hair & Makeup Designer in the heart of the valley for many years. As of 2022, she now calls the windy city of Chicago her home, where she loves to ride bikes, eat great food, and avoid the winter weather! She dabbles in voice-over work, modeling, costume construction, and SFX blood-making which always keeps her landlord guessing. Mary can often be found curled up with her cat, Imogen, watching Grey's Anatomy reruns and dancing along to her 2000's Pop Hits playlist on Spotify.
Mary is a graduate from Arizona State University where she obtained her B.S. in Communication and a minor in Theater. In 2017, she spent the summer abroad at Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London, studying the history, language, application, and original practices of Shakespeare.
On this site, you can get to know Mary and view her work, both on and off stage, through a series of photos and her resumes. Also feel free to reach out in the Contact section to share your thoughts, love, or projects!
Reviews
"Mary Townsend positively soars in her role as Shauna, the more relatable girl in the clique. She brings out the vulnerability in Shauna that makes her feel truly human, even in her mean moments. Townsend has one of the clear standout performances of the play."
