MORGAN TAKÁCS
Morgan Takács is an NYC based artist hailing from the Sarasota/Bradenton area. She’s been delighted to have been an actor, improviser, director, and stage manager for the backyard. She also enjoys serving as a jack of all trades, problem-solving for projects she’s less directly involved with.
Performance credits include the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Green Room 42, St. Louis Fringe, a National Rotary Tour, Sarasota Players and a Marine Life PSA screened at Burns Court Cinema. Though live theatre, new works, and political cartoons have been her bread and butter so far, she looks forward to expanding her capacity for storytelling with an interest in film & television.
Currently, Morgan is in her final year of conservatory training at Atlantic Acting School, after which she plans to finish her bachelor’s, submit several self-tapes, and help put up thought-provoking pieces in New York, Florida, or wherever the wind blows next. Cheers!
