Maggie Cavanaugh
About Me
Maggie is a performer currently based in New York City and Boston. Originally from Maplewood, New Jersey, Maggie recently graduated from Emerson College in May 2025 with her BFA in Musical Theatre with a minor in Marketing Communications. Since graduating, she has been consistently working regionally, playing roles such as Penny in Hairspray and Little Red in Into the Woods.
Maggie first started performing at age 5, where she played the coveted role of a fish in her elementary school show. Singing has always been her first love, and growing up right outside New York City, she was fortunate enough to be able to nurture her love of performance from an early age.
Maggie loves working on new works. Engaging with new emerging writers and artists is one of her favorite parts of theatre, and she hopes to do more of it as she begins her professional career. She’s also passionate about teaching and spreading the joy of theatre and music to children of all ages.
When she’s not performing, you will find her baking new gluten free recipes and spending time near any ocean, lake, or body of water she can find.
