Maya Bea has recently received a BFA in Theatre Arts with a Concentration in Music Theatre from Boston University School of Theatre. Maya is also an alumnus of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School’s Drama Department and the Accademia dell’Arte, Italy, majoring in Physical Theatre.

As an actor, Maya Bea strives for vulnerability and depth in every character they take on. Maya is most drawn to theatre and art that uses comedy as a weapon in combating tragedy.

Maya Bea began acting through taking improv comedy classes at age 8, and has since maintained their passion for improv and comedy by studying improv and sketch at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, and the Second City. They have also studied at the Accademia dell’Arte (ADA), a Physical Theatre study abroad program, where they were intensively trained in Clowning and Commedia dell’Arte. Since their freshman year of college, Maya was also a member of “Spontaneous Combustion,” the BU School of Theatre’s audition-based improv troupe.

In addition to their adoration for comedy, they are also a trained musical theatre singer, with a wealth of experience in choir and ensemble singing. Through their time with the Young People’s Chorus of NYC, beginning at 12 years old, Maya Bea had the pleasure of working alongside Meredith Monk for Lincoln Center’s production of Dancing Voices, performing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, as well as being a part of Lincoln Center’s production of Berstein’s MASS.

In Maya Bea’s free time, when they are not typing away at their computer, writing in third person on a Squarespace website, you can find them in their room writing and singing their favorite indie-folk-rock songs on their guitar :)
