A professional opera singer who has made the crossover into film and theatre, Mary brings deep and intense resources to making a writer's work come alive, and is dedicated to truth through performance.
Originally from Chicago, Mary performed regularly in the Lyric Opera of Chicago. When she was invited to participate in the Tanglewood Music Festival, the summer home of the internationally renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra, she met Phyllis Curtin who later became her voice teacher and mentor. Mary moved to Boston and earned an Artist Diploma from Boston University while Curtin was Dean of the School for the Arts. Among her many projects, Mary has performed the role of the Countess in The Sound of Music, the role of Adele in Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus, and the role of Snow White in Conrad Susa's Transformations. Her performance in Transformations so impressed Susa himself that he referred to her as his "ideal Snow White." Mary is the recipient of the Drama Award from Southern Illinois University and the Graduate Faculty Award from Boston University.
Mary went on hiatus from vocal performance for some years due to a battle with ovarian cancer, but after surviving the cancer and its treatment, she returned to performance with renewed vigor. She decided to begin expressing herself in a more personal way through acting, and to reach a wider audience beyond classical music. The combination of a strong natural talent and many years of musical stage experience have brought her much attention already. In 2011, her performance as Vivian Bearing in W;t with Salem Theatre Company was enthusiastically received by audiences and critics alike. In 2012, she originated the role of Barb in Adam Bock’s Swimming in the Shallows with director Scott Fortier, also with STC.
Speed Dating, a film she wrote and produced, has been screened at five film festivals and won Best Director in the Experimental Film Genre at the American International Film Festival. In addition to The Commitment, she has worked on several independent films including Wendy’s Game, currently in post-production.
Kerri worked on numerous short films and industrial videos prior to her feature debut in Whatever Makes You Happy. Originally from New York, Kerri went to school in California before returning to the east coast. She is currently based out of New York and studies acting at Carter Thor Studio.
