Excerpt from Marie by Stanton Welch
A Defining Moment
Playing Lauren Anderson in Stages Repertory Theatre's production of Plumshuga: The Rise of Lauren Anderson. There has not be another role that has challenged me as much physically and emotionally as this role did. It also was such a personal topic for me that I related to so strongly. I enjoyed every moment of it. I learned so much about myself through that process
