Anastasia Marchelos

Anastasia Marchelos is an actor and teaching artist based in NYC. Growing up on Long Island as a self described "artsy kid" who couldn’t play sports, she found both community and acceptance when she joined her high school drama club. The camaraderie she has found there and beyond is an important value that she holds highly in her work.

A quirky introvert, Anastasia enjoys playing women of conviction, operating through subtle behaviors and nuanced expression.

Anastasia has studied acting at Adelphi University. She has also taught Theatre Arts to children at Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, and Artists Striving to End Poverty.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS (WORKING TITLE)

Anastasia just did a cold read of the play, whose working title is "Wuthering Heights", which was written by Regina Robbins. She played Opal, a feisty, outgoing, and curious teenager coming of age in the English countryside in 1848, guided by a new friend and a mysterious novel. Anastasia greatly enjoyed stretching her creative muscles in a period piece about belonging, and how great works can inspire you to take charge of your destiny.

THE RIGHT AND LEFT PLAYS

Anastasia was recently a part of "The Right and Left Plays" at Playwrights Downtown, which was a series of two short plays which were produced by Elemental Women Productions. She played the role of "Left", a put together woman looking to reconnect with her sister, in a short play called "Polar", written by Mikayla Olivia Orrson. Anastasia has grown as a actor by being a part of this contemporary piece centering on two women figuring it all out in a modern world, where things aren’t as spelled out as you’d like them to be.
