Her plays have appeared at the Theater for the New City, Manhattan Theater Source, Brecht Forum, Actors Studio, Ensemble Studio Theatre, Bowery Poetry Club, Gotham Arts, Galapagos and Siberia, among other venues and in festivals including the Howl Festival and Lower East Side Festival of the Arts. Most recently her full length play, Around the Night Park, was produced as part of the Dream-Up Festival at Theater for the New City in August of 2010. She is currently developing her plays, American Love with director Joan Kane as part of the New School Play Development Series, and at the same time on another full length, Photoplay: The Madness of Diane Arbus, exploring her interest in photography and in people we consider "freaks." Born in Drama, Greece, Maria moved to the states, when she was seven and is a product of the public school system, which she's going to write about one day. She has an MFA in playwriting and has degrees in English and Sociology as well as credits in education and in the fine arts. She works in academic administration, but has taught in public high school, which she enjoyed, and previous to that in publishing. She started her writing career with articles on Russian artists during the 90's. Maria is presently a student at Columbia School of Journalism, and working on putting together her first book proposal. She also reviews for nytheatre.com and contributes articles on culture to The National Herald, a Greek-American weekly.

Stay Over

Synopsis:
Stay Over "is a comedy of what can happen to you when trying to make up after an infidelity. Mark and Michelle, a thirtysomething couple, are settling in for an affectionate reconciliation on a snowy night in New York. Mark's a bit of a rake, and Michelle had allowed him an outside affair, in the hope that he would 'get it out of his system'. She relents on her tolerance when Lilly, the twentysomething dancer that Mark had dallied with, bursts into their apartment out of the snow, hoping to stay over." the play is Matt Morillo's comedic adaptation of Sleepover by Maria Micheles (2007).
