Marguerite is a like the multi-tool of theatre; she directs, house-manages, stage-manages, and sound designs. She began acting in community theatre in Washington D.C. at the age of 8. After 15 years of community theatre on the East Coast and Arizona, she relocated to San Francisco, California where she formally studied circus arts and performed in a traveling fire circus for 4 years.
In 2014, Marguerite returned to Tucson, Arizona where she cultivated a career in technical theatre and directing, which led her to Honolulu, Hawai'i to pursue her Master's of Fine Arts degree and where she also founded Ojito, an experimental physical-theatre troupe. In Hawai'i she was exposed to theatre of Polynesia and Asia, both extremely influential on her work as a director.
