Paige O’Malley is delighted to be making her debut with Washington Stage Guild in their lovely take on Widowers’ Houses. She recently returned home from a national tour of Swazzle’s puppet adaption of The Little Prince, in which she played the title character for family audiences that numbered in the thousands. Paige has graced stages all throughout the U.S. over the span of her career, most notably in D.C., Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and New York. She lived as an honorary New Yorker for over a decade, during which time she graduated from New York University with degrees in Art Therapy, Spanish language, and the classics.

Soon after graduating she became the artistic director of a family entertainment company called Puppetonia!, where she was able to write, direct, and perform original puppet shows on a daily basis. She currently performs a weekly puppet show for her tiny fans at Walls of Books in Petworth. While puppetry holds a very special place in her heart, she’s also had the pleasure of performing in all manner of diverse works from rock operas, to Shakespeare, to burlesque shows. Some of her favorite roles have included: Emily in ‘Our Town,’ Berdine in ‘Psycho Beach Party,’ Perdita in ‘The Winter’s Tale,’ and (Kit Kat girl) Helga in ‘Cabaret.’

At present Paige is employed as an audiobook narrator for the Library of Congress, recording books for the blind and physically handicapped. She now lives happily ever after with her beloved husband Ryan and precious fur baby Bubs in their newly purchased D.C. home. She’d like to dedicate this performance to Zeggy Dearest and the love that endures.
