Marisa Weatherly, a native of Powder Springs, Georgia  is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory (CCM Drama). At the tender age of two Marisa captured the attention of a gymnasium full of basketball fans by performing a dance number with the  cheerleaders. From that point it seemed that Marisa was destined for the stage. She began  formal dance training at age five and at age nine she began taking acting lessons. While in middle school she joined the drama club and at the end of her eighth grade year she auditioned for the Cobb County Center for Excellence in the Performing Arts (a magnet program). She has performed in such plays as A Raisin in the Sun, The Women, Durang Me, Top Girls, Hedda Gabler, and Lysistrata. Her most recent credits include A Crossroads Christmas Carol at Stone Mountain Park. In this improv based production Marisa showcased her brilliant comedic timing & ability to play several different roles.  She also understudied for the Alliance Theatre's production of Spoon Lake Blues. Marisa is currently a student in the Masterclass program at the Company Acting Studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
