About Zoe-Maria

Hey! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Zoe-Maria Rivera and I’m a Cuban-American performer from Elizabeth, New Jersey! When my elementary school didn’t provide arts education, my mom(and hero) decided to direct a production of Suessical and I haven’t looked back since! I trained at Papermill Playhouse Summer Conservatory throughout high school before pursuing my BFA in Musical Theatre at Marymount Manhattan College.

Outside of performing I’m passionate about my work with students with special needs in New Jersey and New York. You can always catch me either spending time with my family, crocheting, or choreographing silly dances with friends.

I believe our stories have the power to make change. I’m determined to be a vessel of hope as I value empathy, integrity and strength in everything I do. Forever grateful to be here.
