Mary Kate Abner
Actor | Filmmaker
AEA, SAG-AFTRA Eligible
North Carolina native turned Brooklyn-based artist, Mary Kate is a recent graduate of NYU Tisch with a B.F.A. in Drama and a B.S. in Educational Theatre from NYU Steinhardt.
​
When she's not doing weird new plays [probably with repressed gay/religious undertones] or scheming her dream dystopian/fantasy film role, MK can be found riding her bike around Brooklyn, binge-watching Greta Gerwig films, or pouring store-bought cold brew into a fancy cup with ice for her loved ones.
She thrives on open-hearted conversations, uncontainable inappropriate laughter, and is especially passionate about working on female coming-of-age stories.
​
P.S. She also feels that it is important to mention that she has 4 younger siblings - which means she's the super cool oldest sister of a big family, and you could trust her with anything, especially your Google Calendar.
Just Released!
