Favorite credits include: The Book of Will (Hudson Shakespeare Co.), You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown! (HACPAC), The Spanish Tragedy (Regional tour, HSC), Timon of Athens (Exeter Northcott Theatre) and such Shakespeare plays as Coriolanus, Pericles and Macbeth. Thanks to Jon for his continued support, EBT, the MAC and Nancy A. Herman for the opportunity to bring this play to life. Also thanks to the cast and producers for your support and friendship. Noelle would like to dedicate the run of this show to the memory of Jennifer Andreas, a dedicated, fierce and witty teacher lost too soon.
