ACTOR’S BIO: Marie Duggan – “The Magician”, “Dr. Pinch”, “Sailor”, “Third Officer”
Marie Duggan is delighted to join the cast of On the Edge Theatre Production’s The Comedy of Errors for her first production. She is very excited to play the characters of The Magician, Dr. Pinch, Sailor, and Third Officer. When she is not reading Shakespeare or adventuring with her husband and their two dogs Archimedes and Valkyrie, she enjoys crunching numbers by day and baking cookies by night.
SHOW INFORMATION:
This summer, join SHAKESPEARE IN THE HILLS for Shakespeare’s zany comedy of adventure, mayhem, and mistaken identity! The Comedy of Errors tells the tale of two sets of twins split apart by a tragic shipwreck at a young age. Years later, unbeknownst to them, they have all ended up in the same town, unaware that they are being mistaken for each other.
With vaudeville performance, slapstick humor, immersive staging, and Shakespeare’s comedic writing, this production for all ages is not to be missed!
Bring a blanket or your lawn chair, bring your meal and make it a picnic event for SHAKESPEARE IN THE HILLS‘ outdoor performance presented by On The Edge Theatre Productions. All performances are held at the Laguna Hills Community Center & Sports Complex’s Gazebo and Town Green.
