Mary Anne's background has predominantly focused on theatre and media - in both a performance and production capacity. Her education took her through theatre school and on to the University of Salford where she studied Media and Performance to degree level. Following this she travelled America, where she worked as a film extra whilst living in Los Angeles for several months. On her return to London, Mary Anne became a successful creative and corporate event manager, before returning to her first love, the theatre.

Recent 2009/10 stage management credits include a highly extended run of Joe Dipetrio's play F**king Men (Kings Head, The Arts and The Lowry , Manchester) and most recently Bachaus in Rehab (The EtceteraTheatre). Mary Anne is very excited to be working Upstairs at The Gatehouse.
