About Madelyn!
Hi! I'm Madelyn (but I go by Maddie) Ciliento, and welcome to my performer website!
I am from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and have grown up there and been immersed in the theatre scene there since I was 11! I am a graduate of Muhlenberg College, majoring in Theatre and minoring in Dance. I am incredibly passionate about so many things, and I am always doing something creative. I give credit to the incredible professors and people I've gotten to work with at Muhlenberg for all of the unique experiences I've gotten, which have shaped my education and my life. Some of my favorite things I have gotten the privilege of being involved in at school are Songsycle (a contemporary musical theatre group), The Muhlenberg Weekly (The school newspaper), and being an Orientation Leader. I've gotten to study abroad in London with Theatre Academy London (TAL), and it was the best few months of my life.
Along with performing, I love photography, and I manage my own photography business in conjunction with pursuing theatre. I take a lot of theatre headshots, and love taking a quick trip to Philly to take photos of concerts. My parents and siblings are a huge part of my life, and even though I'm the only one in my family involved in the arts, I am so grateful for their support.
Since graduating college, I've had the absolute honor of performing around Pennsylvania. I started off my first post-grad fall at Dorney Park in Allentown, where I was a performer in their Halloween shows.
I made my regional debut in Dear Evan Hansen at the Fulton Theatre months later, and went on as an understudy. Now, I am performing with Revival Productions in Bye Bye Birdie as Kim MacAfee. What a year!!
I am so passionate about what I do and try to pour every ounce of myself into the work I produce. I can't wait to see what comes next, thank you for supporting me on my journey!!
