Maggie Brennan (they/she) is an NYC + PHL-based theater and film artist. They recently graduated with honors from Temple University’s theater and acting program. During the summer of 2022, they trained at the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, Ireland with emerging artists from across the globe. They’re also a proud member of the Ring of Keys Collective. Up next: Isabella Sinclair Cooper’s short, The Rooms.

Maggie brings curiosity, vulnerability, and hard f*cking work to the table. (She’ll probably offer to bring snacks, too!) She’s equally at home whether stepping into the worlds of classic playwrights or breaking ground on new stories for theater and film, with a range from intense emotion to dry wit. Maggie is particularly drawn to work that unravels the given circumstances of the world we live and create in.

In their spare time, they can be found in the great outdoors, singing in the car, taking pictures of friends, writing, or making a cup of coffee. They’re really enjoying Season 3 of The Sopranos.

"Maggie Brennan is an exacting performer. In building her characters, Maggie’s intentions come across with ease, clarity, and smoldering intensity. She makes big bold choices, is a strong physical and musical performer, and I would absolutely work with her again."

Cat Ramirez, Director (Sensitive Guys at Temple University)
