CLEO, THEO & WU
CLEO, THEO & WU by Kirsten Vangsness
This was a pretty special experience. I originally signed on to understudy the role of THEO, but in a whirlwind emergency, I learned the second lead in 72 hours and went on for the role of GLOCK in both understudy shows instead! Both wonderful, but very different roles, and an incredible experience all around. A beautiful script by Kirsten Vangsness, and the most incredible directon by Lisa Dring.
With Alysha Brady (Kirsten’s Understudy) after our incredible understudy show! Two happy leads, and friends for life! Duh!
