Molly began theatre in the 6th grade at St. Dominic School with The Little Mermaid Jr. and has continued ever since. Wild Heart will be Molly's fourth full theatre production with STK and sixth production overall. You've seen her on the PAC stage before as many roles, such as Elijah in 8 Minutes Left and an Electric Skate in The SpongeBob Musical (rock and roll!), but Pierre is her largest role yet! She'd like to thank her family, friends, and teachers for all the support along her theatre journey and she hopes to continue with STK until her graduation!
