Q) You are no stranger to the Dock Street Theatre stage. What are a few of your favorite past roles that you’ve performed with the company?
I loved playing Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act!
Q) What is your role in Mamma Mia and what do you like most about your character?
I play Donna Sheridan, Sophie’s momma and the owner of the Summer Nights Taverna. I love that Donna is a strong and independent woman. She works hard and can accomplish anything she puts her mind to!
Q) What drew you to performing in Mamma Mia?
I love the music and it’s just such a fun show. I also went to the ECC (Equity Chorus Call) a million and a half times when I lived in NY. I figured it was about time to actually get to dance the show!
Q) What are you most excited about that audiences will experience with Charleston Stage’s production of Mamma Mia?
The energy is contagious!! There is no way to see the show and not dance/sing along.
Q) Share a little bit about yourself.
I co-own a music, movement, and drama program for kids called Dance.Laugh.Learn. as well as teach private voice lessons. I live on James Island with my husband, Ben, and our 1-year-old daughter Vivian.
Q) What’s up next for you? Will you be performing in another role with Charleston Stage?
I will be playing Judy in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time as well as Mrs. Potts in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
Performances continue running Sept. 6 – 23 at the Historic Dock Street Theatre. Purchase online today by clicking here.
