MARY DALESSANDRO
P E R F O R M I N G A R T I S T
Mary is an actor/singer/dancer originally from Buffalo, NY. Her passion for art has taken her on a journey that began at a young age with a fascination with storytelling and characters. Mary's performance work spans both stage and film, and she has loved exploring the unique complexities of both mediums. She is represented by Jennifer Sims at RPM Talent Agency for Theatrical (Film/TV), Commercial, Voiceover and Print.
Mary's education in the performing arts began at Walh Performing Arts Studios where she trained in various dance styles, vocal techniques and acting for 15 years. She, then, received classical training in acting, focusing on Stanislavski and Meisner techniques at John Paul the Great Catholic University in San Diego, California. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in acting and a minor in musical theatre.
Some favorite theatrical roles have included Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing) and Sonya (Uncle Vanya). In film, she's played the driven and spunky female leader, the sarcastic and witty best friend and romantic leads. Her experience stretches into various creative roles in film, theatre and the talent industry; Creative Producer, 2nd Assistant Director, Dance Captain, Scene Coach, Script Supervisor etc...
Mary's creative endeavors also include three years of experience as an Event Coordinator. She has enjoyed the balance of creative vision and logistical execution the role demands. Mary is also Barista trained, and starts every day with a coffee; her current go-to is an iced maple latte with oat milk! When she's not acting, she enjoys exploring nature, pickleball, family movie nights, country line dancing, praise & worship, driving along the beach with all of the windows down, Disney parks and reading.
At the heart of Mary's love for storytelling is a desire to create meaningful art that brings friends and families together through empathy, shared experiences, and stories that resonate across generations. Believing in the power of art that reveals the truth and beauty of the human heart, Mary hopes to be a part of projects that reflect that vision.
