Gwen is thoroughly jazzed to be back at San Francisco Playhouse since she loves to sing and dance. She’s done this before in Into the Woods and Hello Dolly! (Mountain Play), A Chorus Line (San Francisco Playhouse), The Empire Strips Back, and Odyssey Dance Theatre. This performance goes out to her eight-year-old self who enjoyed performing “Miss Baltimore Crabs” alone in her bedroom, and had to be alerted that publicly, she could not sing “but I screwed the judges,” though at the time she didn’t understand why. “Enjoy the show!”
