All About Me

(The professional Stuff)

Mads is a live entertainment photographer & theatre professional who graduated from Western Washington University with a BA in Theatre Production, concentrating in directing & playwriting.

She spent the last 5 years in Bellingham, directing alongside an array of professors & guest directors from across the nation. She composed Untethered, a new musical, alongside 3 other colleagues. In 2022, it premiered as a reading at the Region 7 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival & was a semi-finalist for the O'Neill National Musical Theatre Conference. It remains in development.

When she wasn’t in the theater, she spent most of her evenings capturing touring musicians & Bellingham’s DIY scene from 2021-2023.

In the Fall of 2026, Madison will be attending Carnegie Mellon University to study Arts Administration within Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy.

She loves basketball, karaoke, writing music, essays in Substack, and spending time in nature, preferably by the water.
