Moriarty's research critically engages feminist theory through examinations of motherhood and non-motherhood performance on stage. Her work bridges performance studies with gender theory, focusing on identity construction in theatrical contexts while maintaining strong connections to practical theatre education methodologies. This interdisciplinary approach creates dialogue between academic theory and contemporary performance practice.
Professionally active as both actor and director, she has performed at Detroit's The Ringwald and Jewish Ensemble Theatre, toured nationally, and contributes as a cast member of the radio sketch-comedy group Right Between the Ears. She maintains active scholarly engagement through the Comparative Drama Conference.
