Mary Fator

Mary Fator is a 22 year old assistant audio engineer based out of Rochester, NY. She has most recently worked on the first national tour of the 2016 Broadway revival of Fiddler on The Roof!

Mary is a proud alum of Rush Henrietta, RH Singers, and the Spotlight Theater program. Most of her days in middle and high school were filled with math, music theory, and choir...not much has changed in that regard. At age 16 Mary began to explore her options in the live audio industry, emailing every bar downtown that did live shows, and was turned down by every single one. Although no established building wanted or needed Mary’s help, a kind man who promoted for The Bug Jar took Mary under his wing and taught her the world of sound. Mary’s involvement in Rochester’s DIY music scene from 2015-2018 was essential to her audio and “backstage etiquette” knowledge.

Before her time on the road, Mary was an assistant audio (A2) in theaters across the northeast, three of which include American Repertory Theater, Goodspeed Musicals, and Geva Theater Center. Some of her most proud work would be Cyrano (starring Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage) at the Chester Theater, Endlings at American Repertory Theater, and The Other Josh Cohen at Geva Theater Center. She has created incredible theater with so many amazing people throughout her short career and cannot wait to continue with this after the pandemic.
