And Our Tobey Tamara is... MARIA PAGOULATOS

After searching for a long time to find the right actress a series of headshots were mailed in and the producers were immediately enamored with MARIA PAGOULATOS. Quoting one of the producers "She had the right look in her eyes!" So I agreed and I was not disappointed. She is true to the art form. Skilled at improvisation and able to adjust comfortably to all cast members and situations on screen. Maria as an actress has the likability of Sandra Bullock with the appealing curvature of a Greek Jennifer Lopez. Her bio below speaks for itself. Be sure to catch her as Tobey Tamara in THE PA.C.T. this Spring.

Maria's Bio
Maria Pagoulatos studied the art of acting at the New Jersey School of Dramatic Arts. She started classes back in 2006. Upon taking time off to pursue her MFA in creative writing and teach literature at the City College of New York, Maria returned to NJSDA in 2009 to finish the theater program. She discovered her true passion is to act. Maria loves delving into and discovering the characters she portrays. Her background consists of theater, film and improv. Having mostly done theater, she has performed in Anna In the Tropics (Marela), Prelude to a Kiss (Rita), and Sex With Censor (Woman), among others. Her most challenging theatrical endeavor was portraying eight different characters in The Dining Room.

Maria enjoys the rush of adrenalin the theater provides as well as the fulfillment and beauty that film offers. Her gratitude lies toward her mentors and directors, especially Bob Sapoff, Beth Baur, Gary Lynch and Maury Ginsberg.
