Those years instilled in her a deep love of storytelling, collaboration, and live performance, and she would not be where she is today without them. A huge thank you to the cast of Apoloholics for coming on this journey with her; our incredible director, Nora, for her vision and time; our rock-star stage manager, Caitlin, for holding us all together; and Mary's unwavering supporters in the audience: Kris, Terri, Cosmo, Jhomalys, Michael, and David. She hopes to make them proud with her playwriting debut.
