Angela Geer 

Angela is excited to return for our second offering of 2008, Cabaret Gone Country. Having been brought up on country music and performing in countless country shows, she is very "at home" with this show. You may remember her from two of last season's shows, the incredible sold out run of the revival of Menopaus-A-Palooza, and our 2007 Christmas show, A Cabaret Christmas. Angela was also in our 2006 production of The Rocky Horror Show, which she was honored with a Mary Jane Teall Award. Though performing is one of Angela's passions, her absolute favorite passion is her 6 year old goddaughter, Leah. Auntie loves you! As always, Angela's heart and inspiration comes from her mother who she knows is watching. Thanks for coming, enjoy the show.
