Ella Marroquin
Ella Marroquin is a senior at Brunswick High School. She is a member of the Brunswick High Theatre and Production Company and has a strong passion for telling authentic stories. Since starting her theatre journey in her sophomore year, she has performed in many of her school shows, earning her two all star awards for her role as Mrs. Trotsky in All in the Timing. Ella has also competed in the annual Poetry Out Loud competition and has been a state finalist for the past two years. She has also written several plays, making her public debut as a playwright earlier this year at the 2020 Thescon Freestyle event.
