MAYA FORTGANG

Hey, I’m Maya! Welcome to my website! Here is a little bit about me!

I am a born and raised Jersey Girl with a flair for the dramatic. I got into the world of performance through dance at a very young age. Soon after, ballet class was accompanied by jazz and tap and even competitive Irish dance for a few years. Growing up in a family of artists, storytellers, and performers I was flooded with support when, at 8 years old, I asked my mom for voice lessons. After dipping my toe in the musical theatre world, I began spending my summers at the prestigious Paper Mill Playhouse Summer Musical Theatre Conservatory in Millburn, NJ. I was officially a theater kid!

After 7 summers at Paper Mill, conquering the New Jersey community theatre scene, and making my professional debut in Paper Mill Playhouse’s The Sound Of Music in 2012, I was certain that performing was what I was meant to do with my life. I am currently finishing my senior year at Ithaca College pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre! At Ithaca, I have discovered a deep and passionate understanding of the importance of storytelling and making art that leaves its mark.

Whether its Musical Theatre, Television, or Film, I’ve never felt more ready to start sharing my passions with the world!
