MARY AIAKA KENT

Mary Aiaka Kent: is thrilled to portray one of her favorite literary characters. She has loved Pride and Prejudice since her mother gave her a copy at 13. She studied theatre at OSU (GO POKES!) and has been active in Gaslight and other theatres for over 30 years now. Thank you to her former professor, mentor and now friend Rena Cook for the dialect work and encouragement. To her cousin Debbie Shorter and her mother Patje Lentz for the costume assistance. Last seen onstage as Cha Cha in Grease and last season's fantastic run of Hansel and Gretel (which she wrote and directed.) Next up for her, The 3 Pigs, A wolf's tale this March for Children's theatre again, this time as only the playwright and emotional support! Thanks to her parents for her love of theatre and babysitting! Thanks to her husband for too much to list, her daughter Katy for laughing every time she delivered a line (even if it wasn't that funny), her son Sam for his fashion and hair help, Adam for his texts of encouragement, and to Ms. Chris and the cast and crew for indulging her inner wackadoodle and NERVES!!!!
