Thrilled to appear for the first time at the Vic, Corwin is endlessly grateful to Terry and Wade for the opportunity to perform the role of her dreams with such incredible people. An "Ovation" award nominee in 2005, Corwin was last seen in Amy's View at Miner's Alley, SansScript: Whirl at the Bovine Metropolis, and will appear next in Colorado Stage’s production of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. Thanks always to Rick and Paige for their friendship and guidance, her parents, without whom she would not have been possible, and Jake--verra verra much.
