Ladye Vivian is incredibly grateful to have the space and support to direct this musical and share her vision with her beloved community here at Shenandoah. She recently had the privilege of portraying Nickie in SWEET CHARITY and Cathy in THE LAST FIVE YEARS here at SU. She also will be the Dance Captain and Female Swing for SU's upcoming production of TUCK EVERLASTING. The most important thing to her is that each audience member feels more open to the joy and beauty around them than they may have been prior.
