Maggie Anne Gillette (she/they) is an NYC-based, born-and-raised New Englander, multifaceted artist.

Gillette ("The best a *person* can get..." - Gillette, Razor Company) grew up in Litchfield County, Connecticut. She began studying ballet at age three, where she believes her love of performing began. At the age of seven, Maggie was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and her love of dance was halted five years later, when she underwent her first hip replacement at age twelve. 

She devoted time to her school's theater programs and community theater and received a scholarship through ASAP Arts to study acting at the SOCAPA, where she worked with other young aspiring actors, filmmakers, dancers, and photographers. She furthered her education and earned her BFA in Acting at Ithaca College's School of Music, Theater, and Dance, graduating with distinction from her professors for her dedication to the non-profit Wheels for Women and for serving as a teaching assistant for voice and movement students.

Currently residing in NYC, she works as assistant house manager for the Off-Broadway Company, Sea Dog Theater (notable performances include Tuesdays with Morrie starring Len Cariou and Christopher Domig, and Awake & Sing!), on top of teaching pre-K and kindergarten students. Most recently, she appeared in the comedy-drama web series Adoptive: The Series, created by and starring artists Carey Cox and Joseph Kibler, as part of the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, and recurring in the role of H.P. Piglet in We the People of these Fifty Acre Woods, written by Andrew Reid. 

Gillette strongly believes that in a world full of technology that has negative, declining effects on our world, art needs to strive to stay alive and be accessible to all, especially through the art of play.
