Olivia, Publicity, Hair and Makeup ✤ (she/her)
Morgan has wandered her way back to the stage after a very long break becoming a consumer researcher at a FinTech company and starting her own photography business. However, the acting bug bit hard with a vengeance in voice over, on-camera, and finally, back behind the proscenium arch. This is Morgan’s first production as an actress with Ye Olde Theatre Eaters, after serving as their production photographer for R&J. She is very excited, and happily surprised to join the cast of Twelfth Night with her lovely castmates. Other acting credits include: The voice of the AI assistant in the award-winning, sci-fi short film Hyperburn, Olivia in the noir short Dark Spaces, and Lydia in the post-production witchy, western short The Deal. Other stage credits include; Liesl Von Trapp in The Sound of Music and Mustardseed in Midsummer Night's Dream. Morgan is thrilled to be back and would like to thank her friends, Bees, Mom (& Lauren), and former director, Ellen for convincing her she should just go for it. Special thank you to Colin and Harry, for providing her a space to finally embrace her (very mild & normal) Shakespeare obsession.
