With a passion for new Australian writing and work that creatively engages with the canon, Marni makes work that is formally inventive, visually imaginative, and unafraid to take on big ideas.

Among others, she has worked with La Mama, Red Stitch Actors Theatre, fortyfivedownstairs, Theatre Works, The Street Theatre, Melbourne Shakespeare Company, Canberra Theatre Centre, Canberra Youth Theatre, Shakespeare by the Lakes, the National University Theatre Society, and Screen Canberra,

​​

Marni was the 2024 Red Stitch Actors Theatre Hansen graduate director, and in 2025 is a part of the Malthouse Artist Development Program at Malthouse Theatre, and the MinterEllison Future Directors Initiative at Melbourne Theatre Company.
