The Bathroom Attendant
I am so excited to announce that I have joined the cast of “The Bathroom Attendant”, written by Tom Kelly and directed by Andrew Block. I will be playing the role of Bambi and I can’t wait to get into rehearsals.
I had the privilege of seeing the first reading of this play, and the several months later, had the privilege of auditioning for it myself! “The Bathroom Attendant” will be playing at 124 Bank Street Theatre from August 13-30.

And tickets are now on sale!
“And Blake is heartbreaking as Bambi, capturing both the vulnerability and volatility of a young woman who rightly suspects that no one has her back, so she must take care of herself.”
“...The play opens with an agonizing monologue from Bambi (Mari Blake), a teenage girl who has been sexually trafficked and is recovering from a brutal attack by a celebrity athlete... Every role seems as though it were written specifically for the actor playing it.”
“Klein and Mari Blake provide the production with its most volatile energies. Blake, as Bambi, has the difficult task of embodying a teenager who has been sexually trafficked and brutally assaulted while still allowing us to see the frightened, angry person underneath the rhetoric of victimhood and revenge. Her opening monologue is agonizing, and there are moments when her volatility is genuinely heartbreaking.”
“While I truly feel each actor did their absolute best to portray the characters written, the clear standouts are Evan Klein and Mari Blake: Blake, despite her fairly brief stage time, brilliantly expresses everything that haunts her character, including anger, fear, desperation, and the need for survival. It’s truly impressive to witness.”
