​"She was the one to watch" - Boston Broadway Awards

Dr. Ianthe Mariniis an AEA and SAG-E actress, AGMA singer and flutist, and choral/orchestral conductor (Doctor of Musical Arts). The American Prize Winner in Conducting (2019) and Best Actress in a Musical by Boston Broadway Awards (Anita, West Side Story), she has been celebrated as “the one to watch, and, an unmatchable and dynamic force who engages in each moment to the fullest. Her presence on stage is palpable.” (My Theater World Boston).

An actress in Los Angeles, Marini has gained a reputation for her “commitment, inspired motivations, vulnerability, and daring” (Dr. Marylin Winkle, LA Camerata). A repertory company member of Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum, which remains at the top of the LA Times list for theater venues in Southern California, Ianthe was described by its artistic director and leading Shakespearean expert Ellen Geer as “a fearless phenom and a wild sensation who brings weight and gravitas to all we do here.” Of her work in Madwomen Part II at the City Garage Theatre in Santa Monica, Dr. Raymond Knapp, (Distinguished Professor of Musicology and Humanities UCLA) wrote, “Marini is the most moving part of the production, in part for her daring to give up beauty for rawness.”
