Hi!

I'm Maddi O'Connell.

Performer.
​Aspiring stage manager. ​
Theatre professional.

Welcome!

My name is Maddi (they/he), and I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. I graduated with my BFA in Acting and minor in Music from Baldwin Wallace University!

After being immersed in theatre and music as a toddler, I have developed a deep, fiery passion for storytelling. I am a theatre artist whose perspective is based in community change and impact and making differences in others' lives through the performing arts. I want to share the beauty, comedy, and tragedy of humanity with audiences of all ages while concurrently creating experiences to move them emotionally and foster dialogue around difficult topics. My ultimate end goal is to be a multi-disciplinary artist who can continue to touch others with my vibrant love for this incredible art form that I believe is the most effective agent for change.

Take a look around and get to know me! Thank you for stopping by!
