Walking In Their Footsteps

I have the honor of playing Ann Kelsey, a brave and intelligent woman who served in Vietnam as an Army librarian. I keep reminding myself that she will actually be in the audience seeing her story told onstage. That feels like such a privilege, to know the person you are portraying is present and trusting you with their memories. You always want to do your character’s justice and tell their stories to the best of your abilities, but this just raises the stakes and makes the experience all the more special.
