Quotes
I play the role of Miss Trunchbull, the headmistress of Crunchem Hall Elementary. For me, she’s one of the meanest and scariest villains I remember from my childhood. Three words I would use to describe her composition would be iron, meat and ox. Her name also illustrates her so well, it’s as if you can hear her coming from a mile away and once she is in the vicinity she need not say a word to have everyone’s attention.
I haven’t seen the show live but I have seen some clips online and I have watched the movie a million times. So I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from what I have seen yes, but also been encouraged to make this iconic character my own – which adds to the challenge but also makes it so much more rewarding and fun!
Besides Miss Trunchbull in Matilda the Musical at Artscape? Umm. But seriously, this really is a dream role and I’m so grateful for it! Otherwise I don’t have a specific dream role. I just want to be challenged and as versatile as I can be. I want to play evil villains and princes in musicals, I want to be in Shakespeare and Chekhov plays and I want to create as many roles as I can. Basically I’m greedy and hungry for everything!
