Charisse Loriaux is incredibly grateful to be returning to the Marin Shakespeare Company after having the great joy of playing Olivia in Twelfth Night last season, directed by her Sister, Bridgette Loriaux. She has had the honor of working with the San Jose Stage, San Francisco Playhouse, Magic Theatre, Crowded Fire Theater, Shotgun Players, Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, Tabia African American Theatre Ensemble, Teatro Vision, Berkeley Playhouse, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In 2018, Charisse originated the role of Meiko in Jonathon Spector’s Eureka Day, which premiered at the Aurora Theatre, directed by Artistic Director, Josh Costello. Eureka Day is now Broadway bound and is set to hit the stage at the Manhattan Theatre Club in November of 2024. She is thankful for the opportunity to spark the flame which is now a blaze. Charisse also modeled for the world-renowned figurative artist, Richard MacDonald on the Grand Coda which was unveiled in the city of Shenzhen, China. Charisse is a graduate of SJSU and is a company member at Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre.
