Bookish Client (Cat Lady)/Ensemble
Margaret Wilson (she/they) - Bookish Client (Cat Lady)/Ensemble Omigod you guys! Margaret is 12 and going into 7th grade. Her favorite roles so far have been Private in Madagascar Jr., Aquata in The Little Mermaid Jr., Isadora in The Grunch, Kai in Finding Nemo Jr., Bird Girl #2 in Seussical Jr., Ensemble in The Nifty Fifties, and Goon 6 in The Adventures of Captain Starblaster. When she’s not performing, you can find her riding horses, crafting, playing games, and listening to Broadway musical soundtracks on repeat (ask her how many times she's listened to Hadestown). A loud shout out to the unseen backstage heroes: stage crew, costuming and tech! Special thanks and love to Dorothy, Megan, Dov, Emily, Katie, Mom, and Dad.
