Hey, I’m
Molly
and I'm not known for keeping it brief... but you came here for an artist's website and information and not a blog so let me hit you with the highlights:
-
She/They: I don't have a label for myself other than "queer" and that's how I like it! Either way works
-
Singing, Acting, Questioning: I think the best thing about theatre is that every story can remain relevant if we look at it through a modern lens. My dream projects involve taking our most classic ideas and questioning them at their core. We can preserve and progress our incredible art form by pushing it forwards rather than letting it serve as just a reminder of what we've already done. My favorite pieces tend to be more contemporary (think Hedwig meets Adele) but I think there's value in almost all of our theatrical history!
-
Corgis and Coffee: The two most important things in my daily routine are my cold brew and being woken up by my pup, Emma!
I think that's the most important bit! Questions? That's my favorite part, so bring them on!
