Mari Haig

Mari began her entertainment on stage at the early age 3 when she starred in a variety of plays and musical pageants. Her lineage as an actress/musician was handed down from one generation to another beginning with her grandmother who was an actress in the Caucasus and her mom as a playwright, having written many of Mari's early performances. The gifted singer, comedian, ventriloquist, cartoon artist and musician appears regularly in many of Southern California's theaters and concert halls performing everything from Rock to classical concertos on piano, clarinet, flute, viola, cello, and violin. She's appeared throughout the U.S. and Europe with such greats as Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Mannheim Steamroller, and has recorded dozens of CDs and movie soundtracks. When it comes to her other great passion, acting, Mari's philosophy is simple: "Acting is like playing a violin - the violin bow is your voice and you tell a story every time you play a note, and what comes out is your very own and never the same way twice."
