It’s always a treat returning to a theater for another show. The feeling of familiarity with the theater, getting to deepen relationships with the wonderful people there, most of whom I’ve only “seen” on social media since the previous show, gives a bit of a warm and cozy vibe. This month, I’m back at the lovely White Plains Performing Arts Center, playing Lady Beaconsfield in “Jekyll & Hyde.” This show was the first show I saw on Broadway with a close friend in a principal role. That friend was the amazing George Merritt, who like me, studied opera and taught school before turning to the stage. George has passed on, but I think of his amazing talent and friendship every rehearsal, every show. At the time he was in this show, I was all about opera. Little did I know, I was learning so much about theater from George back then. I feel like I’m honoring his memory in this wonderful production.
