Heather Ann Petersen

Heather was born in Reading, Pennsylvania. She caught the acting bug in high school performing in musicals and revues but never considered it as a career path. Upon graduation she attended a few colleges throughout southern Pennsylvania majoring in Creative Writing. Restless with her chosen major, she continued to participate in various college theatre productions. Her love for acting continued to burn strong, so eventually she decided to leave school and take a chance on pursuing an acting career. She received validation when she was accepted into the summer acting program at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After that brief summer in NYC she made it her goal to one day return to the city to pursue her acting career. After a few upsets that dream came true when she was accepted to Marymount Manhattan College's Theatre program where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Theatre Performance.
