Anne Kennedy, Lucille
Anne Kennedy is delighted to make her Harlequin debut! Earlier this year, she was seen as Celia (to Marianne Savell's Rosalind) in As You Like It at Taproot Theatre, where she also performed in the improv comedy team's production of Go Forth! An Improv Adventure. Anne has also worked at Centerstage Theatre, SecondStory Rep, the Seattle Rep, 5th Avenue Theatre, and ACT Theatre; and while she’s lived in Washington for seven years, this is her first time to Olympia. Not this particular performance, per se--I mean, she showed up for rehearsals, so that first rehearsal was actually her first time here. But the show as an experience is, collectively, her first time here. It's probably best not to think about it that hard. She's happy to be here and thrilled to work with Marianne once again. Love to Mom and Dad! |
