An AEA actor and writer known for her emotional depth and grounded strength, Heather shines in layered, human stories. She recently co-wrote and stars in an upcoming indie feature film, following standout performances as Abigail Williams in The Crucible at The Classical Theatre of Maryland and in her first AEA staged reading produced by Bruce Willis. Classically trained and equally at home behind the bar as a high-volume craft cocktail bartender, she brings the same precision and passion to her work on screen and off.
“Heather Burgess as Abigail Williams and Allison Meyer as Mary Warren create a masterful duo as well. Burgess leers in the background at first, analyzing and listening to those around her only to strike out and create chaos in court.”

“Nancy Krebs, Heather Burgess, and Mackenzie Koehne were captivating and mesmerizing as the witches, projecting evil through their physicality and expressions. They delivered their malevolent incantations with incredible interpretations.”
