BIO
Marnina Schon is a SAG-AFTRA & AEA actor, singer, violinist and writer based in Los Angeles.
As an actor, Marnina starred in the dramedy series Chanshi (featuring Henry Winkler), an Official Sundance Selection and winner of best independent comedy pilot at SeriesFest. Marnina has performed in countless theater productions in the LA area (South Coast Rep, Laguna Playhouse), and originated roles in workshops at Center Theatre Group, The Wilshire Ebell, The Elysian, Ojai Playwrights Conference, A Noise Within, and the Geffen Playhouse. Critics have called her performances “quirky perfection” (StageSceneLA) and “most interesting…I wish she had more stage time” (Broadway World).
You may have also seen Marnina ruining Kat Denning’s date on Hulu’s Dollface, hacky-sackying to the delight of Fred Armisen and the dismay of Sian Clifford (Netflix’s Unstable), creating sketch videos with the likes of Josh Gad and Seth Rogen, goofing with comedy icons like Paul Scheer & Rachel Bloom in The Muppets Script, and jumping into the wackiest of roles with Quick & Funny Musicals’ revolving door of original musicals at Upright Citizens Brigade or the Elysian each month. You can spot her fiddling on cult favorite Dropout shows Game Changer and Play It By Ear. And you can hear her as a savage high school debate kid on the new star-studded musical comedy album about the NRA, Good Guy with a Gun! (Marnina has also sold her soul to be in some national commercials.)
Marnina is half of beloved musical comedy duo Couplet with their romantic and creative partner, Micah O’Konis. Couplet has quickly grown a fanbase online and in person, touring their award-winning show Honey Honey Moon Moon to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and London, and making their Edinburgh Fringe and BBC premiere last year to wide acclaim (“so charming, *****" - Ed Fest Mag, “wild, *****" - Starburst Mag). They are returning to the Fringe this year with their new show Folk Marry Kill at Assembly.
