Marjolaine Whittlesey

Marjolaine Whittlesey grew up in France and came to Maine to go to College of the Atlantic where she focused on literature, ecology, and performing arts. Her innate love of teaching quickly took over and for the past twenty years she has taught French, theater, and creative writing to students of all ages. Her creative work in theater mostly centers around new work and physical theater, with a fun dose of Shakespeare thrown in for good measure. As Education Manager at The Telling Room she continues to teach all ages, empowering youth to find the stories they want to tell, and helping adults accompany them. She loves collaborating with passionate artists and educators who invite students to trust their voice.
