Maggie Whittemore is an Oxford Continuee who jumped into theater freshman year and has been unable to stop since. While at Oxford, she served as president of OxBroadway, played John Wesley Powell in OxTheatre's Men on Boats, and played Clara in Dooley's Players' production of Marry, Fuck, Breath of Water. Backstage, she stage managed Rachel Cusk's Medea and wrote for and assistant directed Hearing Voices. Professionally, she worked with Theater Emory as a production assistant for their 2020-2021 season.
As an upperclassman on the Atlanta campus, she served as production manager and president of Ad Hoc Productions, stage managed 35MM: A Musical Exhibition, and directed The Lightning Thief. Professionally, she served as lead intern for Synchronicity Theater's Playmaking for Girls program and assistant stage managed Essential Theater's production of A Complicated Hope.
What's next? Maggie's plan is to teach English as a middle-grade teacher while preparing to study theater in grad school eventually.
Favorite Accomplishment? My proudest moment at Emory was having the opportunity to direct Ad Hoc's fabulous production of The Lightning Thief in my senior spring.
