Maria Stana

Maria Stana is a young actress based in London, trained in both stage and screen acting. Her passion for Acting started out as a child when she watched films such as Black Swan, The Talented Mr. Ripley and other critically-acclaimed films. That's when she knew Acting was the career she wanted to pursue in the future. She believes acting is the act of empathy and actors are powerful since they can move people through their performances and inspire them too. 

Maria is originally from Romania and started to take acting classes at the age of 16. She moved to London in September 2021 when she joined the BA Acting course at St Mary's University of Twickenham. She recently graduated and she's now trained in stage acting, modern and classical text, including skills such as clowning, Commedia Dell'arte, as well as screen acting, Meisner and Stanislavsky techniques. 

Maria has been working as a children's entertainer with Especially For You Parties Ltd since November 2025. Drawing on her acting background, she brings characters to life through lively improvisation and playful storytelling, creating engaging and memorable experiences for children 

Maria will also be performing on the 12th of April at the OSO Arts Centre, in 'No Translation For This' - a performance celebrating Eastern European Voices: https://osoarts.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173671990?_gl=1
