About

Mari Vial-Golden (she/they) is an actor, writer, educator, and community herbalist & organizer living in Brooklyn with her partner Gus and their two cats, Poppy and Lyra.

Originally from the Bay Area, California, Mari is a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont and an alumnus of the British American Drama Academy in London. As an actor, Mari has worked regionally across the country as well as off-broadway in New York. She has particular passion for the creative agency provided by new play development and devised, ensemble-based work.

As an artist, Mari is guided by the belief that, while art cannot change the world on it’s own, as we work towards collective liberation and the destruction of all systems of oppression in our societies, the stories we create play an essential role in helping us imagine what comes next.
