DRIVEN by stories of resistance and romance, Mari Joy is a Chicago-based Filipino actress.

Her theatre credits include the portrayal of the Narrator in the one-person show Every Brilliant Thing with Vicariously Staged Productions. The solo performance drew high praise, with UTBA noting, "Asiado had the arduous task of being the engine behind an emotionally taxing solo performance for over an hour, and she did so incredibly well. Asiado more than lived up to the praise the script has received so much acclaim for.” She has since remounted the play in Chicago with CIRCA Pintig and Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble. 

She also originated the role of Lark in MESTIZA, or MIXED, with Plan-B Theatre, Utah's first production featuring a Filipino-majority cast. Mari Joy is actively involved with CIRCA Pintig, a Filipino American theater group in Chicago, serving as an Ensemble Member, where she performs and assists in season selection and casting.

In film, Mari Joy starred as Erica in Poolside Inn, premiering at the AMPAS-qualifying Palm Springs International Short Film Festival and shown at FilmQuest and the Golden Gate State Film Festival. Recently, she was cast as the lead in Kalamasa’s Revenge, an indie horror feature shot in Utah, which explores cultural identity through the supernatural, and premiered at Māsima Film Festival. She also recently played a small role in an independent Chicago feature film called When Cats Fly, available on Tubi, Plex, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV.

She holds a BFA in Acting from BYU. 
In her spare time, you will find her singing, being a hopeful romantic, and eating rice.
