“She has the face and talent to be a heart breaker. But that’s not all — she also possesses that other incredibly rare talent. She is funny — and knows how to bend and twist a line to find it. I was honored to have her star in two of my films. And I can’t wait to work with her again. You would be very lucky if you get to work with Mary Sprague!”

–Karen Goldfarb, Writer/Director, Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid and Lucky and the Pirates

Biography

Welcome! And thanks for checking out my web site.

In case you were wondering, I’m NOT the Mary Sprague who makes 6-foot tall plastic chickens.

But I AM the Mary Sprague who’s had 2 films go to Cannes, but has never been there herself. Yet. They say the third time is the charm – SO… next time I’m going, no matter what! (Did I mention that one of the films won 2016 Animation Day?!)

And I AM the Mary Sprague who can’t carry a tune in a bucket but was an acting and guest vocal coach for HIP HOP Shakespeare at Hartford Stage for two seasons (doing A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Romeo & Juliet).

And I AM the Mary Sprague who happens to be a performer with a disability, but I don’t let that define me or in any way stop me from pursuing and achieving my goals. (Reach out if you’re interested for more information.)

So, if you’re in search of 6-foot plastic chickens, keep surfing. But if you need a multi faceted and talented actress and educator, one who’s played a mother, femme fatale and princess – yes, I can finally check that off my bucket list! – you’ve come to the right place.

I look forward to hearing from and working with you.

“Mary: I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work on this week’s shoot of the Amudim PSA. It was a real pleasure to work with you and I hope our paths cross again soon on future projects. Your professionalism as well as you talent was appreciated and very much respected. Good luck with all your future projects. I will keep you posted on the final version when were done editing.”

–Yeeshai Gross, Partner, Ergo Entertainment/Multipleoutlet Productions

Here’s Looking at You Kid
To give a known love story twists which not only preserves the essence of that story but also creates a new story within, can only be described as magic.

“I really can’t thank you enough for swinging by and lending us your voice. You added so much to our show. It was seriously beautiful work, and this shows the crazy level of talent you have, that you can just swing in, take a quick look, and make it sound like your own thoughts. A big, fat thank you!”
