On Screambox
The TV thriller/horror series, The Trouble with Tessa, has been met with praise from Screambox viewers and critics. Currently streaming on this channel, The Trouble with Tessa centers on disgraced documentarian Tessa Fowler, played by Katrin Nugent, 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 manipulative and controlling woman who's determined to have her way, no matter what.
See my reel below for performance highlights.

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.

On Stage
At the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, I played an eccentric judge in the one-act Family Law Comedy Special. My next project will be a dramatic reading of poems by female writers, currently being curated by author Jana Rose Woods.

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.

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 in THE TROUBLE WITH TESSA
To the actress who plays Betsy, you did a phenomenal job. You made me hate your character so much. Thank you for that!

Maria Wolf is an appropriately arch Irma.

Maria Wolf in THE TRoUBLE WITH TESSA
Kudos to the actress [Maria Wolf]. She has this...smile, and she immediately flips the switch and gets very evil."

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.”
