The fearless eyes of Twin Cities actress Tracey Maloney - Minneapolis Star Tribune
” And in David Harrower’s harrowing “Blackbird,” she gave a tense, taut performance as Una, a 27-year-old woman who encounters a man with whom she had a sexual relationship at age 12. . That 2008 performance caught the eye of director Marion... And she was right there, matching him toe to toe. “I got into theater because I wanted to find out more about people and help people,” she said, pointing to the example of her mother, who was a government employee in Dayton, Ohio. “She did social work, and that’s what I wanted to be growing up. I wanted to find out more about people’s lives so I could try to make things better for them. “They talked up theater in Minneapolis so much, it was a no-brainer for me to move here,” she said. While her boyfriend toured the country, Maloney pursued her theater dreams at small venues. “Tracey doesn’t usually get cast in funny roles, but one of the things I love about her are her comic instincts,” said.
