Mary Healy is a New York based actor and singer and the ultimate New England stereotype—Irish Catholic gal with a tall red-headed family and a father who shed a tear when she attended her first Yankees game. (Even at 5’10” Mary is somehow the short sister.)
Growing up in Massachusetts she was lucky enough to start singing and acting professionally just out of middle school at Reagle Music Theatre, where she listened and learned from top industry professionals as often the youngest in the cast. While she would have normally avoided the local boys school for fear of hoards of vested future finance bros, she alternated high school afternoons busing to the nearby boys school for rehearsal and closing the local coffee shop (pretending the place in the middle of town was soundproof as she belted Waitress). Throughout high school Mary studied voice with Joanna Gaughan and performed in plays directed by Boston Conservatory professor David Connolly—both of whom instilled the love of honest and humorous storytelling.
Mary went on to receive a BFA in Acting and a Concentration in Musical Theatre from Boston University where her favorite performances include Lobby Hero, Anyone Can Whistle, Detroit, Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage Musical, Intimate Apparel and String the Musical. As a pandemic graduate Mary made the most out of lockdown, narrating numerous audiobooks out of her parents’ closet. As the world began to open up, Mary seized any and all opportunities to be perform which included her first feature film (The Choices We Make), co-founding and performing in Pegasus Theatre Company, competing in the New York Theatre Festival and modeling for Tempur-Pedic, Lâncome, Marshalls, Thinx, Zendesk, Vital Farms and more. Mary is looking forward to the release of many projects such as her first lead in feature Harmony, short Her Lover, short Death of a Puppet, Beyond an Outer Banks style web series and more.
Mary continues to study acting with a focus on on-camera work with Lesly Kahn and Bob Krakower.
In her free time, Mary can be found transitioning to decaf coffee one almost-good-enough half-caf at a time, running around the city at a pace more akin to a slow trot, or turning free trash into her next apartment treasure (one of which is a water feature…).
