Who is Marie Gaglione?
Sometimes she doesn’t even know! But this Friday she’ll be reading entries from her hilarious and honest journals starting with a page picked by an audience member, after which a crack team of improvisers will pull apart the strange, hilarious, and wonderful!
Who is Marie Gaglione?
It’s the show you want to see! It’s funny, it’s real, it’s The Life of Marie Gaglione! Performing this Friday with Big Blue Door’s spring residential ensemble, Hot Tee!
Who is Marie Gaglione?
It’s an amazing lineup of improvisers! Check the cast of Life of Marie Gaglione for Friday, 5/15:
Marie Gaglione. She’s the “Marie” in the name, a BBD improviser and writer just returned from months on the road living in a van! Before that she spent years writing in a journal.
Brian Weisbrod. Brian performed and coached for Big Blue Door for many years. He is tall, emotionally intelligent and recently married (sorry, ladies!). He has some kind of job somewhere and likes to chase groundhogs in his free time. He’s studying German in preparation for the end days.
Alena McKay-Smith. Alena began performing improv in 2024 with Big Blue Door, and now performs with Billionaire Robot Dog as part of Goat Rodeo Comedy Co!
Kim Scott. Kim has a very common name, which helps her remain elusive on social media – hiding in the shadow of more famous (and infamous) Kim Scotts. She claims her love of studying the human condition is fueled by curiosity, but honestly, she’s just trying to distract herself from the fact that someday, she’ll die. She has studied and performed with Big Blue Door since 2024.
William Edmisten. William is a professional software engineer and now an amateur improv performer. Originally an introvert from the DC area, William recently discovered the joy of being on stage with improv comedy.
Katie Noorbakhsh. Katie thinks requesting a dismissal from federal grand jury duty is some of the best fun a US citizen can have. It involves standing on a stage while a panel of attorneys asks you questions and laughs at all your jokes. Getting out of grand jury duty is not a recognized hobby so she does improv instead. Katie also likes books, her family, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. She does not enjoy saying things like, “Pick up your socks,” and “No swinging sticks in the house,” but she is really good at it.
Joel Jones. Joel is the co-founder and co-director of Big Blue Door!
