Art and Education
Marjorie's Passion
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Marjorie has always loved theater and has sought out training and performance opportunities as early as elementary school. She has participated in Master Classes, among other programs, at the Walnut Street Theater School in Philadelphia and has studied improvisation with practitioners at the highest levels. Marjorie majored in American Studies at Grinnell College and went on to gain a Master’s degree and complete doctoral work in the same field at Boston University. She was pleased to be able to combine her interests in history and theater when she was given the opportunity to portray suffragist Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906). While A Visit With Susan B. Anthony has become her most requested program, she remains enthusiastically involved with theater arts of all kinds. Currently based in Philadelphia, Marjorie is available to travel.
Praise for Marjorie Goldman
From Fans and Critics
“Marjorie Goldman shines as Laurie, with well-timed changes in mood and gesture.”
–Chestnut Hill Local review of “Third” by Wendy Wasserstein
“Marjorie is dependable, loyal, has a strong work ethic and great stage presence. I have worked with her as a performer and hired her as a teacher. She is a hilarious improviser–thinks fast on her feet and can always see a comedic or sardonic spin to put into a scene. I hired Marjorie to teach theater in retirement communities, where she was a dedicated and inspiring teacher. The students–mostly 80 years old and up–loved her style and her supportive energy. Two 95-year-olds who had never tried theatre before said they loved Marjorie’s classes and became key members of the ensemble.”
– Robb Hutter, Founder and Director, Philly Senior Stage
I just had to tell you all how fantastic Chautauqua was last night! Marjorie-you are an amazing Chautauqua scholar and have such skill with audience interaction and management. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and the Chautauqua experience with Asheville.
