Bio

Maximilian Jurisic is a New York-based actor and emerging musical theater performer from Canada, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music at The Manhattan School of Music. 

Currently, in his senior year, Max is focused on developing a grounded and dynamic presence that bridges classic and contemporary musical theatre. Most recently, he appeared as John Adams in 1776 at Plays-in-the-Park NJ. His past roles include The Preacher in Violet, Macheath in The Threepenny Opera and Durdles in The Mystery of Edwin Drood, along with ensemble work as a Swing in The Pajama Game. He has also been involved in new work and workshops, including Coach Goodman in  Mudville, and has participated in Disney Labs, performing in ensemble productions of Frozen and The Little Mermaid.

In a world that feels increasingly digital, fast-paced and disconnected, Maximilian strives to create work that encourages empathy and awareness. Whether making audiences laugh or moving them to tears, he aims to inspire more thoughtful, compassionate perspectives, reminding us of the shared humanity that connects us all.
