When introducing herself at our first read-through rehearsal, Shelly said, "I got the word that Elise needed an old chick for this show, so here I am."
It's already great to have longtime actress and founding member of SARTA join the STRING OF PEARLS cast in this summer's revival production, but when she's bringing her spunky personality and sense of humor to boot, it's even better!
Shelly plays the character of Beth, the first woman in the play to acquire the precious string of pearls that begins our journey. "Playing the same person at different ages is always a challenge," says Shelly. "I'm too young to be Beth in her 70s and too old to be her in her 30s. Finding the right path between those two extremes will be tricky."
We have no doubt that with her vibrant energy and proven talent, watching Shelly find that balance on stage will be nothing but a treat! Come see for yourself.
