Tommie-Amber Pirie ............................................................................... Marla
To delve into my art form and consume myself with something that is so dear to my heart means the world to me. I am fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to submerge myself into this medium and explore it in every way shape and form. Acting for me, is this passion that I can't even put into words. It feeds me.
Don Nigros' Specter is a beautiful piece of work and to have the opportunity to reveal and tell his story is an honor. I want to thank everyone on this production for coming together as a team and working relentlessly and passionately to be able to share our work with everyone. Thank-you. 11:11
