“The artist must possess the courageous soul that dares and defies.” – Kate Chopin, The Awakening
Hello there! I’m Molly, and I love to tell stories. (Also, I hope you like my power pose and my fun hat! “Does anyone still wear…a hat?”)
I’m an actor, singer, and dancer. Recently, I’ve performed as Jerusha Abbott in DADDY LONG LEGS at Cortland Repertory Theatre, Cinderella in CINDERELLA at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, and as Jellylorum in CATS at Music Theatre Works. In one summer, I was nominated for two Broadway World Central New York awards for best performer — one for Eliza Doolittle in MY FAIR LADY and another for Belle in BEAUTY & THE BEAST, both at Cortland Repertory Theatre. Other select regional credits include THE LITTLE MERMAID (Ariel* BroadwayWorld Nom), A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MARY POPPINS: A STAGED CONCERT, CABARET, and SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.
I’m a graduate of Princeton University, Broadway Dance Center’s Professional Program, and The Chicago Academy for the Arts. I believe in the power of the imagination and that the world needs great art.
I love dogs (i.e. my late dog, Tag) , Shakespeare, chocolate, good quotes, dumb puns, goofiness, and, of course, Julie Andrews. I love being a daughter and a sister, and I am endlessly grateful to everyone who has supported me to learn and create.
