Coming Soon on TV
Streaming on Screambox this summer, I have a recurring, leading role of Betsy in the original, TV thriller/horror series, The Trouble with Tessa.
In this six-episode series, The Trouble with Tessa centers on disgraced documentarian Tessa Fowler who unearths a box of old tapes and starts to unravel the dark secrets buried in the town of Lowery, a place she escaped to in order to clear her mind.
I play two characters--the kind neighbor Betsy who morphs into the villain, a manipulative and controlling woman who's determined to have her way, no matter what. Yet, there's a chink in her armor, and her fate is sealed one dark, terrible night.
​
Coming to Movie Theaters
I just wrapped on my first feature film! I had the supporting role of a devoted mother whose daughter has to face some difficult realizations about her life and her past.
DNA requirements prevent me from reporting more, but principal photography is finished, and the film is now in post.​​​

Film Fest Circuit News
​
Bad Egg has been garnering awards in the film fest circuit. It is an official selection in the Best Shorts Competition and an award winner in the Portland Comedy Film Festival. In this short, I play Judy, a pushy mother from Long Island who's unhappy with her son's choice of freezing his girlfriend's eggs for the future. Judy is unrelenting, unapologetic and funny as hell.
​
​
Mother, Son, Comedy! won Best Short Comedy at the 2024 Houston Film Festival. I play the lead role of the mom who leaves her husband and stays with her son in his college dorm room. The film is also an official selection of the 2024 Maryland International Film Festival and the Queens Film Festival.

Praise for Maria Wolf’s work
in The Balcony
The play’s dominant figure is still the brothel madam, Irma (Maria Wolf) who directs all the performances in her house of mirrors, fantasies, role-playing and illusions and does so superbly.

Maria Wolf in Office Politics
Maria Wolf as the boss (Karen) captures the intelligence and the heart of a woman succeeding in a man's world. I did not watch actors acting at Office Politics. I watched people living.

Praise for Maria Wolf’s work
in The Balcony
The principle actors serve well, led by a bravura Maria Wolf in the complex role of Madame Irma. She’s a businesswoman, and if she strikes a pose it’s because she’s in the business of posing.

Maria Wolf is an appropriately arch Irma.

Maria Wolf in Office Politics
The acting in this production is very brave and pulls back the layers of each of the characters in order to get to the heart of the matter.

Maria Wolf in Office Politics
Office Politics is a timely work. … Very well acted … by Maria Wolf.

Maria Wolf in The Exonerated
“Maria Wolf is powerful as Sunny Jacobs, who was accused, along with her boyfriend, for murdering two policemen. He was executed. Her children had to go to foster care, yet she isn’t overwhelmed with bitterness.”
​
“Thanks to six incredible performances and six real lives, “The Exonerated” is still an extraordinarily powerful play.”
​
“The lead actors do not over-do their performances, even though their stories have their share of melodrama. The performances are all the more powerful because of that.”
