Marie Powell(V)
- Actress
Marie Powell grew up in Columbus, Ga. and had no exposure to theater
during her school years. However, she began singing in chorus at the
age of 10 and continued through college while attaining her degree in
computer science at the University of Florida. After moving to
Charlotte, NC to work for IBM she joined the Charlotte Symphony
Orchestra's chorus, the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, and sang with
them for 9 years. During that time Marie attended her first opera,
Turandot, by Opera Carolina and knew at once that she wanted to be a
part of the magnificent music, scenery, costuming and staging. She
joined the Opera Carolina Chorus in 2004 and has felt "at home" ever
since. This was her introduction to acting.
Opera was Marie's segue to the big screen with her first film, Simply Delicious, as she played the role of an opera singer. Working on camera brought new experiences and opportunities as she began to work in supporting roles on indie shorts and worked as an extra on the award-winning TV series Homeland and in films featuring notable actors. Marie quickly moved on to larger roles in regional indie feature productions as well as Season 2 of the web series The Dark One.
