Deirdre
O’Conner – Shelby Eatenton
Deirdre is tickled pink to be working with these amazing
women again. Deirdre graduated from Syracuse University's
drama program and this is her first performance at the Denver

Kristin
Fuhrmann Clark – M’lynn Eatenton
Kristin began singing and dancing at a very early age and
took her first acting class in the 4th grade. She soon auditioned
into many school and community musicals as well as a traveling
troupe. After college, Kristin stepped away from the stage
to pursue other interests, but three years ago found herself
longing for the stage again and she jumped right in. Kristin
is honored to be working for the first time at the Vic and
to be reviving this terrific production. Other recent roles
include Tsarina Alexandra in Rasputin (OpenStage),
Mary in Run For Your Wife (Miners Alley), Jeanette
in Tarnished Eagle (Industrial Arts), Belle & Pancake
Fan in Hallelujah House (Evergreen Players), Woman
4 in Until Someone Wakes Up (MESA), and Marty in
Grease (Longmont). Off stage, she loves life with
her husband Steve, is a family planning and reproductive
health professional, hosts concerts of nationally touring
singer/songwriters, and pines for being outside more often.
Kristin is thankful for the theatrical influence, assistance
and support that her mother (and father) has given her over
the years.

Julie
Anise Sigala – Assistant Director/Stage Manager/Shelby 8-11/12
Julie can not thank her “families” at MAP and the VIC enough
for all of her wonderful experiences and the chances to
meet and work with so many amazing people. Julie has a BA
in Theatre and a minor in Spanish from Metro and hopes to
use both to continue touching and changing her community
for the better. This play will always be special in her
heart and she’s glad she could help share the story of so
many courageous women. Thanks to her family and friends
and the God who gives her strength; and as always, to the
late Mrs. Joyce Johnson for planting the seed.
